☮️🐰💤Our newest sleep story was inspired by Caleb Smith, the 14-year-old animal-lover, entrepreneur and visionary, who bought a 22-acre island on the Mississippi River to train comfort rabbits.
This inspiring young man named his land @peacebunnyisland and aims to create a magical place for rabbits to live in safety and for visitors to find connection with all that is good and gentle in the world.
Caleb’s Comfort Rabbits and their youth guardians go into communities to create mindfulness, joy, peace and calm wherever they go. Caleb calls this “hoppiness.” Some of these rabbits get fostered by people who need some extra love in a way that only a bunny can, many on the autism spectrum. Other bunnies visit children’s funerals and schools impacted by tragedy, violence, grief and/or loss. “At times where there is great sadness and it feels good to be able to do something”, says Caleb. They also take comfort rabbits to senior centers and community events.
In celebration of Caleb’s beautiful project, we created a Sleep Story imagining the adventures of his furry friends. Now you can drift off to sleep as you travel to the Mississippi River and rub noses with the rabbits in The Tale of Peacebunny Island.
