🐰 Bring Bunny Evie’s journey home.

Bunny Evie’s Musical Journey in San Francisco is a picture book for both children and adults. Blending music, storytelling, and symbolic animal guides, it follows a quiet bunny named Evie as she explores iconic San Francisco landmarks — from the Palace of Fine Arts to Golden Gate Park — discovering stillness, joy, and the courage to express herself.

This gentle story is more than a fairy tale.
It’s a multi-layered symbolic journey of self-discovery and belonging.
Each scene, each character, and each piece of music reflects a part of Evie’s inner transformation — and perhaps, a part of ours.

The journey unfolds through three key themes:

1. From Listening to Expression: An Inner Journey of Growth

Evie begins as a quiet, attuned little bunny,
accustomed to listening to the wind and the rain,
but still unsure how to express her own voice.

Her journey isn’t about becoming a great musician.
Instead, through each encounter,
she begins to recognize the qualities already within her —
stillness (swan), joy (sea lion), freedom (seagull), strength (panda), and agility (crane).

This is a story of inner integration and self-recognition.
What she ultimately finds isn’t just a voice —
but a clear, grounded sense of self.

2. Belonging and Connection: Finding Her Place in the World

Evie comes to San Francisco in search of meaningful connection with the world.

Through flowers and music,
she begins to feel the pulse and breath of the city in every scene —
gradually shifting from a quiet observer to an engaged participant.

What she discovers is a rhythm she can stand on,
even in the midst of change —
and a heart that feels calm, rooted, and free.

3. Companionship and Growth Through Relationships

At the beginning of the story,
Evie leaves her sleeping twin brother, Mercy, and sets out on her own.

It’s not just a physical departure —
it symbolizes her first step from dependence to independence.

Along the way, she meets gentle, non-directive mentors.
The animals don’t give her instructions.
They simply offer their presence —
inviting her to see a new possibility through their being.

This is a story about growing through relationship —
and how, in the presence and reflection of others,
Evie gradually begins to hear her own voice.

💫 In Summary

Bunny Evie’s Musical Journey in San Francisco is a path of self-discovery —
from listening to the world to listening within,
from uncertainty to finding her rhythm and direction.

You can read it as:
• A journey of self-awareness and affirmation
• A story of connection, courage, and belonging
• A heartfelt companion for anyone on the path of becoming

Your voice has always been there —
just waiting for the right moment to be heard.
