This is an amazing story of an extraordinary young man， his family and friends， and the journey they are on to save rabbits and help the rabbits save us！ Caleb is wise beyond his years， an excellent writer and story teller， and spreads joy wherever he goes。 I actually found this book by doing a search for "Uplifting Books"。 It certainly has been uplifting to me， as well as engaging， entertaining and educational。 If you are a lover of animals， as I am， or simply looking for something positive and This is an amazing story of an extraordinary young man， his family and friends， and the journey they are on to save rabbits and help the rabbits save us！ Caleb is wise beyond his years， an excellent writer and story teller， and spreads joy wherever he goes。 I actually found this book by doing a search for "Uplifting Books"。 It certainly has been uplifting to me， as well as engaging， entertaining and educational。 If you are a lover of animals， as I am， or simply looking for something positive and inspiring to read， you will love this book！ 。。。more

"Concerning all acts of initiative and creation， there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans that the moment one definitely commits oneself， then providence moves too。。 All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred。" Caleb Smith proves what Goethe shared so long ago。 Starting with his first bunny， Snickers， the loss of which was almost so great to bear that he had almost refused to love。 Caleb decided to reopen hi "Concerning all acts of initiative and creation， there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans that the moment one definitely commits oneself， then providence moves too。。 All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred。" Caleb Smith proves what Goethe shared so long ago。 Starting with his first bunny， Snickers， the loss of which was almost so great to bear that he had almost refused to love。 Caleb decided to reopen his heart and never shut it again。 With optimism and trust our author found that， as long as he remained open， he was able to accomplish the unthinkable time and time again。 Caleb is absolute proof of providence and how God will take us further than the imagination can consider if we will only trust Him with an open heart。 Caleb's journey is a true inspiration for readers of all ages。 The words carefully placed inside the covers of this book have a way of moving the reader with the very same Spirit that moved the author。 Beware， this book may change you entire outlook on life。 Caleb， thank you so very much for sharing with me as you shared with Pax， "Amazing things happen when you choose to open your heart。” 。。。more

An inspirational read about a remarkable young man's passion to spread kindness， hope and comfort to others using his growing family of special rabbits。 From his humble beginnings as an eight year old and one special pet bunny， Caleb Smith begins a journey of "intentional stewardship" to save other rare heritage breed rabbits and help prevent pet abandonment。 It grows into something that he never imagined。"Perhaps sharing some of these stories will help inspire others to do their part to spread An inspirational read about a remarkable young man's passion to spread kindness， hope and comfort to others using his growing family of special rabbits。 From his humble beginnings as an eight year old and one special pet bunny， Caleb Smith begins a journey of "intentional stewardship" to save other rare heritage breed rabbits and help prevent pet abandonment。 It grows into something that he never imagined。"Perhaps sharing some of these stories will help inspire others to do their part to spread kindness and hope--two things we humans always need， especially now。"This was a touching story as the author relates his experiences from how he began this journey， and lessons he has learned along the way about people and bunnies。 His family， friends and community were so supportive， and he shows so much maturity for his age as he sets goals and makes some big decisions involving his growing bunny outreach。 He is truly a remarkable， gifted young man。 His faith shines through as he prays for guidance and help， working in difficult situations to help others。 I love his heartfelt prayers and his desire to see people as God sees them。 I confess I shed some tears reading some of the stories， and also cheered along in some of his later adventures to establish a "Peacebunny Island"。 Like one little girl said， "I want to go there。" Recommend to anyone who enjoys reading an inspirational story。 4。5 stars（An ebook was provided by the publisher via NetGalley。 All opinions expressed are my own。） 。。。more

Those that rescue animals have a giving heart （and wallet） whereas someone who helps other humans gives time and is compassionate。 How about someone that does both？ There is quite a story involved when Caleb Smith gets a rabbit in elementary school and has enough empathy to realize the effect the animal has on people。 The pets “multiply” and Caleb uses them to make enough money to pay for their care and get even more。 Caleb is the voice who has grown older now， enough to reflect on how the bunny Those that rescue animals have a giving heart （and wallet） whereas someone who helps other humans gives time and is compassionate。 How about someone that does both？ There is quite a story involved when Caleb Smith gets a rabbit in elementary school and has enough empathy to realize the effect the animal has on people。 The pets “multiply” and Caleb uses them to make enough money to pay for their care and get even more。 Caleb is the voice who has grown older now， enough to reflect on how the bunny empire came into being with his first nonfiction work on his family’s story。 Quite specific in his account， it is sometimes hard to believe the dialogue from when he was so young。 However the information on each rabbit and the way they came into the family is the great stuff of pet memoirs。 In addition， the knowledge given on rabbit anatomy and behavior is what I love in veterinary memoirs。 The only criticism I have is that it could have been shorter。 There are several side stories that are not really meaningful additions in my opinion。 I highly enjoyed this book though， and recommend it if you would like to read about a hard working kid who is abnormally selfless。 。。。more

Hugs， Hope， & Hoppiness Get ready for your heart to swell with bunny fever as you read Peacebunny Island， an incredible memoir about a sixteen-year-old boy's mission to save endangered rabbits， spread awareness， and train bunnies to console people needing a spark of hoppiness in their lives。 Caleb Smith was eight-years-old when he had a vision of starting a business to breed rare heritage-breed rabbits and help prevent pet abandonment。 With an open heart， Caleb and his Hugs， Hope， & Hoppiness Get ready for your heart to swell with bunny fever as you read Peacebunny Island， an incredible memoir about a sixteen-year-old boy's mission to save endangered rabbits， spread awareness， and train bunnies to console people needing a spark of hoppiness in their lives。 Caleb Smith was eight-years-old when he had a vision of starting a business to breed rare heritage-breed rabbits and help prevent pet abandonment。 With an open heart， Caleb and his family welcomed the first members of the Peacebunny colony into their lives， beginning a journey that would send them across the country to comfort those in disaster zones and educate people on the incredible animals that have the ability to speak to our souls。Taking readers along for the ride， Peacebunny Island trails back to the beginning of Caleb’s epic adventure， introducing us to people and bunnies who will go from strangers to friends in a matter of 260 pages！ Along the way， Caleb faces many ups and downs， which he writes about with maturity and clarity， reminding us all that we are God’s ambassadors and everything ultimately belongs to Him！ From his family home， where the story begins， to the frontlines of the Parkland high school shooting， Caleb recalls the amazing narratives of how his Peacebunnies are changing the world， one whisker kiss at a time。 The moment I saw the cover of Peacebunny Island， I knew I needed to read this book！ A bunny enthusiast myself， I didn’t think my heart could love these creatures more， but after I finished Caleb’s story， I discovered newfound respect and awe for these furry friends （shout out to Whatchamacallit and Tator Tot for making me laugh and cry）。 Caleb’s writing in Peacebunny Island exuded his God-given wisdom。 His descriptions of the last eight years， along with his vigor to build something that is making a difference at such a young age， were not only inspiring but eye-opening。Two key points that I loved from the book were， “The way we care for each other and our animals is a reflection of what’s in our hearts， and over the long term， what’s in our hearts has more of an impact than what’s in our bank account。” And， “If you worry too much about what might happen in the future， you might miss out on what’s happening right in front of you。” These wise words reminded me of the purpose we have on this earth， and Caleb stewards these teachings through the work he is doing with Peacebunny Island。 God doesn’t want us to waste a moment of our precious time; He is calling us to serve others and bring glory to Him （ Ephesians 3:20 ）！ Humorous， touching， and encouraging， Peacebunny Island is a fantastic book that will remind readers that it’s never wrong or too late to dream big and pursue the calling God has laid on your heart！ Caleb is a trailblazer， and I pray that through reading his memoir， others will catch Caleb’s fire to spread God’s love through whatever they have been called to do。 “Peacebunny Island， wherever it happened， would be a place for people to create real stories together of kindness， healing， connection， and love – all the things people seem to struggle with yet bunnies know intuitively。” ~ Caleb Smith *Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a pre-release copy of this book。 My thoughts and opinions are entirely my own！* 。。。more

As someone who has been on the fringes for a portion of Caleb's journey， it was so rewarding to read complete stories of snips I've been told through the years。 Although this book was written by a 16 year old， Caleb has an old soul and shows wisdom far beyond his age。 I appreciate the way Caleb weaves his faith throughout the book but never in a preachy "holier than thou" way。 He truly lives and believes that he doesn't own the bunnies - he is simply their guardian/caretaker。 I highly recommend As someone who has been on the fringes for a portion of Caleb's journey， it was so rewarding to read complete stories of snips I've been told through the years。 Although this book was written by a 16 year old， Caleb has an old soul and shows wisdom far beyond his age。 I appreciate the way Caleb weaves his faith throughout the book but never in a preachy "holier than thou" way。 He truly lives and believes that he doesn't own the bunnies - he is simply their guardian/caretaker。 I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an uplifting read and who needs to be reminded there are wonderful young people in this world doing amazing things。 May we all be so blessed and have a place like Peacebunny Island in our lives。I received an advanced copy from the publisher， Tyndale House。 。。。more
