Daisy Mae, by Brittany Petish, is based on a real-life lop-eared bunny with the softest ears and the bravest little heart. At first, Daisy Mae isn’t sure she can trust the world around her. New sounds, new spaces, and new friends feel a little scary. But deep down, Daisy Mae wants what we all want—to feel safe, loved, and understood.

🐶 A Very Unexpected Friend

Then something wonderful happens. Daisy Mae meets a dog named Tate—the Wonder Doodle! Instead of being loud or scary, Tate is gentle, patient, and kind (watch Tate’s story here). He gives Daisy Mae space when she needs it and friendship when she’s ready. Little by little, Daisy Mae learns that not all new things are scary… some are really special.

🌈 Friendship Comes in All Shapes

A bunny and a dog might seem like an unusual pair, but Daisy Mae and Tate remind us that friendship doesn’t have to look one certain way. Friends can be big or small, fluffy or curly, quiet or silly. What matters most is kindness, patience, and love.
