Review

Smith tells his endearing, inspirational life story in this charming debut. After his pet rabbit Snickers died, the then-eight-year-old Minnesotan decided to start a rabbit rescue (with the support of his parents). He expanded his mission to include having the rabbits serve as emotional support animals, and soon Smith convinced his parents to help fund a breeding and foster program that matched people suffering from “loneliness, trauma, and grief” with a support bunny. Smith, now 16, eloquently describes how the animals brought peace to those who were suffering, including bullied children and survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Smith also introduces readers to an irresistible cadre of rabbits on his path to establishing Peacebunny Island, the bunny-filled oasis on a small island in the Upper Mississippi River where his work continues. The author’s enthusiasm is infectious, and the teenager shows wisdom beyond his years: “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.” Readers of self-help will appreciate these lessons in kindness, compassion, and ingenuity. Publishers Weekly

Review

This is the story of a boy with a vision to make the world a better place through the power of bunnies. Caleb’s rabbits are fully alive and brimming with their own unique thoughts, opinions, and personalities. Most of all, however, they are curious and empathetic beings that generously offer unconditional love and affection to those who need it. There are big dreams on every page of this unique and joyful story, written by an unstoppable young man who cares deeply about others and offers himself, his bunnies, and now his island as an oasis brimming with hope, hops, and heart. Susy Flory, NYT bestselling author and coauthor, writers' conference director, mom of a rescued racehorse, and part-time squirrel nursery attendant

Peacebunny Island is an absolutely delightful and deeply insightful book. Caleb Smith writes with the optimism and authenticity of the young man he is and with the hard-earned wisdom and insight of the old soul that lies within. If you find yourself in need of comfort―or of a reminder of the good that still exists in this world―the precious bunnies of Peacebunny Island stand ready to hop into your heart and fill your soul with peace. Jennifer Marshall Bleakley, Author of Joey and Pawverbs

Peacebunny Island is a heartwarming story that will encourage your soul. Enjoy the improbable tale of a young boy parlaying his love for rescued rabbits to make a real difference. I love the sweet reminder of how God uses the childlike faith of Caleb Smith to accomplish His purpose. Dave Burchett, Author of Stay: Lessons My Dogs Taught Me about Life, Loss, and Grace

Caleb’s skill at describing his experience after the tragedy at Sandy Hook is such a beautiful tribute to the gift of presence that was provided to the Newtown community and especially to me. Our emotional response to the story tells us that he captured the essence through his observations and reflections. The clarity of language, precise word choice, and heartfelt honesty come shining through!
Dr. Anthony J. Salvatore, Retired public school administrator of Newtown Public Schools in Connecticut

You don’t need to be an animal lover to fall in love with this tale of one boy’s dream of rescuing rabbits, training them as comfort animals, and then buying them their very own island. Encouraged by parents who met his dreams with a healthy balance of support and reality-checking, Caleb is a relatable hero whose youthful wisdom applies to anyone with an entrepreneur’s spirit. I read this book in two days simply because it is a delight and I could not stop. If your soul, like mine, could stand a good dousing of sheer joy, read this book. And if you need a little inspiration to follow your own dreams, pandemic and beyond, look no further. You’ve arrived.
September Vaudrey, Author of Colors of Goodbye

Deeply moving, inspiring, and profoundly hopeful, the story of
Peacebunny Island is an inspiring reminder that we can all make the world better for the people (and animals) around us. Highly recommended. Matt Mikalatos, Author of The Sunlit Lands trilogy

In
Peacebunny Island, Caleb Smith walks us through his journey of fulfilling his dream with business savvy and prayer. Readers of this book will be inspired to persevere, trusting God’s guidance along the way. We can all make a difference and show kindness and compassion. I love animals and have written many books about God’s creatures. But from now on, I’ll have more appreciation and affection for the bunnies, especially those on Peacebunny Island. Dandi Daley Mackall, Author of the Winnie the Horse Gentler series and The One Year Devos for Animal Lovers

Caleb is the teen visionary behind Peacebunny Island, where he and youth guardians train domestic rabbits to become comfort animals. After renting for a summer, he began paying the mortgage on a 22-acre Mississippi River island where volunteers provide a short-term "summer camp" for rabbits with an outgoing disposition, preparing them for the "Peacebunny Unit; their programs are under the umbrella educational nonprofit organization called the Peacebunny Foundation, which employs a service-learning model for youth as they engage with Caleb's rabbits. The Foundation's animal-assisted activities and crisis response programs have traveled nationally to support people who are dealing with loneliness, trauma and grief, and volunteers have regularly brought comfort rabbits to visit seniors at assisted living homes and hospice. Another volunteer team, the "STEMbunnies Unit" continues to hosts events to share fun facts, getting kids of all ages excited about animal science facts and observations. His memoir, written when he was 16 years old, focuses on the early years and the inspiration to create Peacebunny Island. He still lives in Minnesota with his mom and dad... and continues to help care for a colony of rare heritage breed rabbits and a cadre of other furry friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational Perspective on What’s Possible!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2021
I was taken aback! From bursts of laughter to unexpected tears. “Peacebunny Island” is a timely gift to the world! An engaging, true story filled with twists and turns, adventure, life-lessons and charming dialogue, which gives everyone a voice … including the rabbits. Caleb's journey comes alive in each experience, story and innocent observation. He's a bunny whisperer; a Dr. Doolittle who honors the voice and choice of people and animals. A young Will Rogers, filled with whimsical wisdom, more often heard and expected from an elder and the next generation's youthful Mr. Roger's, who brings care and kindness to all, as he gently reminds us to advocate for the marginalized and those most in need. You find reminders of familiar family traditions yet filled with subtle lessons often missed in the moment, to never go unseen again. Caleb's story is the perspective of a maturing boy, which penetrates our spirit and invites reflection. He began his adventure to save a rabbit, find the perfect friend, heal his heart and in doing so, God may have just invited him to help heal the us. He gets it! You’ll delight in the journey to Peacebunny Island and gain a fresh perspective on what’s possible.
