When something sad happens, Taylor doesn't know where to turn. All the animals are sure they have the answer. The chicken wants to talk it out, but Taylor doesn't feel like chatting. The bear thinks Taylor should get angry, but that's not quite right either. One by one, the animals try to tell Taylor how to act, and one by one they fail to offer comfort. Then the rabbit arrives. All the rabbit does is listen . . . which is just what Taylor needs.With its spare, poignant text and irresistibly sweet illustration, The Rabbit Listened is about how to comfort and heal the people in your life, by taking the time to carefully, lovingly, gently listen.
悲しいことがあった時、どうやって気分転換をしたらいいのか、タイラーにはわかりません。動物たちは、自信を持ってアドバイスしてくれるのですが…ニワトリは、話してごらんと言います。でもタイラーはお喋りする気分になれません。クマは、タイラーに怒るべきだと言います。でも、これもしっくりこない。一匹ずつ、動物たちはタイラーにどうすべきか教えてくれますが、誰もタイラーを慰めることはできませんでした。そこへ、ウサギがやって来ます。このウサギこそ、タイラーが欲しい答えを持っていたのでした。切々と訴えかける豊かな文章と愛らしいイラストが、ゆっくりと、愛をこめて、穏やかに耳を傾けることが、優しい慰めとなり、人の心を癒すのだということを教えてくれます。
