Knuffle Bunny Free An Unexpected Diversion by Mo Willems

Knuffle Bunny Free An Unexpected Diversion is the final book in the Knuffle Bunny Series by Mo Willems.  This book boasts incredible illustrations with black and white photographed backgrounds and vibrant hand-drawn characters in the foreground!  The illustrations draw the reader into the story as we follow Trixie through her journey of learning to cope with her missing Knuffle Bunny and the selflessness she shows when giving up her Knuffle Bunny to a young child.  This book promotes sharing and selflessness but not at the cost of a well-written story and illustrations. Honestly, I would use the book to show my students an out of the box way of illustrating a book! This book could also be used to help a student cope with the loss of a safety item or to promote selflessness.
