Today on Reading in the Middle, we hop into imagination, wonder, and the tiniest big emotions with Oscar-winning filmmaker and author Alan Barillaro, whose newest book Bunns Rabbit is a quiet, luminous triumph.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • 🌱 How Bunns Rabbit grew from a spark of curiosity into a tender, emotionally rich story

  • ✏️ How Alan blends animation, storytelling, and the smallest gestures to capture big feelings

  • 🐇 Why rabbits, shadows, silence, and courage matter so much in his work

  • 🎬 What he brings from his years at Pixar into writing for children

  • 💡 How he approaches creating picture books that feel like soft lanterns in a noisy world

This episode is for librarians, educators, families, and every young reader who has ever felt a little unsure—but took a brave step anyway.

Curl up with us, grab Bunns Rabbit, and let’s talk about how stories help us find our way.
