A gentle, encouraging children's story about confidence, communication, and finding the courage to speak up.
Rosie Rabbit has plenty of thoughtful ideas, but when it is time to share them, her words seem to hide. Her throat feels tight, her stomach flutters, and she worries that her voice will not be strong enough.
When Rosie and her classmates begin preparing a project for Forest Sharing Day, she must decide whether to stay quiet or take one small brave step. With support from Ms. Maple Owl and her woodland friends, Rosie learns how to recognise her feelings, calm her nervous body, express her needs, set respectful boundaries, and speak with confidence-even when her voice feels shaky.
Through warm storytelling and charming pencil-style illustrations, Rosie Rabbit Finds Her Voice helps children understand that being confident does not mean being the loudest person in the room. True confidence can be gentle, thoughtful, honest, and kind.
