Grebes worked with Mrs Feeley to prepare a play based on the book The Rabbit Listened. We discussed the different approaches the animals took when they saw Taylor was sad – for example, the bear shouted and roared and the hyena tried to laugh it off. The rabbit, however, simply stayed close and listened until Taylor was ready to shout, cry, remember, laugh, etc. This is a highly recommended book for developing empathy. Which animal are you most like when you see someone is upset?
