Book Review
Bunny Tails: Mila's Big Wish by Pali Bermúdez is a tender, beautifully crafted picture book about the big emotions that come with one of childhood's biggest transitions — becoming a big sister.
Mila's journey begins with a wish. And when that wish finally comes true, she must navigate a swirl of excitement, questions, and wonder that will feel instantly familiar to any child on the edge of a family change. Through the gentle lens of a bunny family, the story reassures young readers that welcoming a new sibling doesn't shrink the love already there — it grows it.
What makes this book stand out is how thoughtfully it's designed for real family life. Beyond the storytelling, it offers conversation starters for parents, caregivers, and teachers, along with a simple activity that helps children connect Mila's world to their own. It doesn't just tell children they're loved — it gives the adults in their lives the tools to show it.
Warm, inclusive, and emotionally wise, Mila's Big Wish is the perfect read for families preparing to welcome a new baby, as well as for classrooms exploring empathy, feelings, and what it means to belong. A gentle gem for little hearts ages 2–7.
