On a rainy morning in Maplewood, Olivia Parker, nine, waits for the bus with her mother. Olivia sees a small rabbit hiding under a bench while she is standing near the bus stop. The rabbit is white with brown spots, and it looks tired, scared, and cold. Olivia wants to pick him up, but her mom warns her not to because scared animals can get hurt or even more scared.
They ask for help at Maplewood Animal Haven. To keep the rabbit safe, they help the rescue center put it in a cage. Olivia's family keeps the rabbit at home for a while because the shelter is full. He has a round brown spot on his back, which is why Olivia calls him Button.
Olivia learns that rabbits need a lot more than just food and water as she spends time with Button. They need to live in a safe place, eat well, exercise, get medical care, be patient, and be kind. She also learns how to take care of a pet properly.
Olivia and her mom try to find the owner of Button. They call shelters, look for a microchip, and put up posters all over the neighborhood. No one calls for a few days.
Mia is a little girl who is standing next to a broken yard gate and holding a picture of a rabbit. Olivia sees her. Button is the rabbit's name. The real name is Buttons. He got away when a storm damaged the family's gate.
Olivia is glad Buttons has a loving family, but she is sad to leave them. When you love an animal, you have to let it go home sometimes.
Later, Olivia works at Maplewood Animal Haven and teaches others how to take care of their pets properly. The story shows how important it is to be kind, patient, work together, and pay attention. Finding someone who needs help can be the start of a great journey.
