Riki Rabbit and the Craft Table Tangle (A Free Story and Activities Resource!)


As educators and parents, we've all been there: a child pushes their paper away, tears up their drawing, and mumbles, "I quit." 


Navigating perfectionism and frustration in early childhood is tough. That’s why we created Riki Rabbit and the Craft Table Tangle, a gentle story from the world of Heartwood Forest.


Includes:

  • A complete 24-page mini-unit packed with reading comprehension, vocabulary building, and creative drawing prompts. 
  • A personal note from the author

Built to Bounce Explores Rabbit Science and Coping with Freezing and Shutdowns. $5.95 PDF

Rabbits, the Freeze Response, and Finding Your Next Move


Grades 3–5 | Rabbit Science, Wildlife Respect, Informational Reading, and Social-Emotional Learning


A rabbit may look quiet and delicate—but its body is built to listen, notice, adapt, and move quickly when the moment is right.


Built to Bounce is a beautifully illustrated, 58-page nonfiction science and SEL resource that invites students to explore the fascinating world of wild rabbits, especially the Eastern cottontail. 


Students learn how rabbits use camouflage, powerful hind legs, alert ears, stillness, and quick changes of direction to survive.


The resource then uses the rabbit’s freeze response as a gentle, age-appropriate doorway into understanding what may happen when a child feels overwhelmed, confused, embarrassed, rushed, frightened, or unable to begin.
