Missing Rabbit ~ by Roni Schotter, illustrated by Cyd Moore, 2002, children's picture book fiction, 32 pages, 10/10
As Kara divides her time between Papa's house and Mama's house, she is comforted by the presence of her toy. Rabbit goes everywhere with Kara — to Papa's house, where they eat "oodles of noodles" and play hide-and-seek together, and to Mama's house, where they dance and eat chicken and rice.
But one day, when it's time to leave Papa's house for Mama's, Rabbit asks Kara, "Where do I live?" Kara doesn't know the answer. When Rabbit asks to stay with Papa, Kara agrees. But back at Mama's house she misses Rabbit. What is the answer to Rabbit's question, and how can Kara keep from missing him?
This story is for very young children whose parents live in different homes. It gently reminds children that parental love is constant.
