The Bunny and the Northern Lights

Grit is a key ingredient to tackling life’s obstacles -and even thriving through them. But how do we help children understand what grit really means and how to develop it? We begin with a story that makes it relatable and inspires them to practice it.The Bunny and the Northern Lights tells the tale of a little bunny who longs for spring’s warmth but discovers, through the wisdom of the Northern Lights, how even delicate spring flowers must endure the cold to grow strong. Through the story and imagery, children are encouraged to see challenges as opportunities to build inner strength.The book is ideal for pre-K to elementary school-aged children, but readers of all ages will find this tale of grit, which occurs naturally in the world around us, touching.To support parents and teachers, the story includes a follow-up discussion on grit, and an exercise called 'Grit in Action' to spark conversations about resilience and help children develop a grit mindset.
