Bunny Tails combines heartfelt storytelling and bilingual accessibility, helping families navigate life’s changes with love and empathy.
The Heartfelt Journey Behind Bunny Tails
Every parent knows that the journey through parenthood is full of moments, some joyous, others more challenging. Pali Bermúdez, founder of Bunny Tails, knows this better than most. As a mother and an experienced communications professional, Pali created Bunny Tails Stories as a way to guide her children and others through life’s emotional milestones.
The debut book in the Bunny Tails series, Mila’s Big Wish / El Gran Deseo de Mila, marks the beginning of a mission that goes far beyond simple storytelling. It’s about helping children navigate the sometimes complicated world of emotions and transitions, using the gentle power of words and illustrations. As the first title in what is intended to be a growing collection, Mila’s Big Wish blends the concepts of family love, empathy, and emotional resilience, while also being bilingual. The story is written in English and will soon be published in Spanish, to celebrate multiculturalism, providing a tool for families to connect, reflect, and grow together, no matter their language.
A Personal Connection
Pali’s mission for Bunny Tails was born out of real family experiences shaped by the love and challenges of motherhood. As she observed her children’s emotional growth, she realized that families often lacked resources that could help children process their feelings in healthy, productive ways. This gap in emotional literacy became the seed for what would eventually grow into Bunny Tails.
“My children are the heart behind Bunny Tails, their everyday joys, fears, and milestones inspired these stories,” Pali reflects. Through her work, Pali has found that the simplest moments, the ones that may seem small to adults, are often where children experience their greatest emotional growth. Bunny Tails aims to meet kids where they are, gently guiding them through feelings of change and helping them feel seen and supported in every stage.
Building a Brand from the Ground Up
What sets Bunny Tails apart from other children’s books is the deeply personal journey Pali took to create it. Unlike many authors, Pali didn’t just write her books, she took on every aspect of the creative and business process. From story creation to brand identity, content strategy, and social media presence, Pali built the entire English edition independently, managing every detail herself.
This hands-on approach allowed Pali to shape the brand with care and intention, ensuring that every step reflected the mission of Bunny Tails, to help families build stronger emotional connections through storytelling.
“The English edition has been a hands-on, founder-led journey for me,” Pali explains. “From storytelling to brand-building and content creation, Bunny Tails is a true labor of love.”
Pali’s efforts have paid off as Bunny Tails continues to grow its community, attracting families who are looking for a meaningful, supportive way to talk about emotions. Through social media outreach, book readings, and community engagement, Bunny Tails has already begun to resonate with families worldwide.
Expanding Horizons: The Spanish Edition
As a bilingual brand, Bunny Tails was always destined to grow beyond the English-speaking market. Pali’s deep roots in Colombia, combined with her lived experience of building a multicultural family in the U.S., gave her the unique perspective needed to create stories that resonate across cultures. The Spanish edition of Bunny Tails, a new milestone for the brand, is being developed through a partnership with Babidi-Bú, a Spanish editorial company, and illustrated by Argentinian artist, Jessica Gamboa. This partnership promises to expand the reach of Bunny Tails to Spanish-speaking families around the world, bringing the same love, hope, and emotional insight to a new, wider audience.
The collaboration with Babidi-Bú marks an exciting step for Pali. “Partnering with Babidi-Bu for the Spanish edition allows Bunny Tails to reach more families with the same heart and purpose across languages,” she says.
This international collaboration showcases Bunny Tails’ unique position in the market: a bilingual, multicultural brand with the power to unite families around universal themes of love, change, and emotional support. It’s a rare combination of grassroots passion and professional publishing collaboration that gives Bunny Tails a unique edge in today’s diverse literary landscape.
The Impact of Bunny Tails
At its core, Bunny Tails is about more than just entertaining children, it’s about providing a vehicle for emotional learning and connection. Each story is designed to help children understand their feelings, process change, and cultivate empathy for others. The gentle narratives and reflection prompts encourage meaningful conversations at home, helping families talk openly about emotions and the changes that come with growing up.
“Bunny Tails is inspired by my kids and the real moments that shaped our family, because the biggest lessons often live in the smallest days,” Pali explains. This profound truth resonates throughout each book in the series, as Bunny Tails continues to nurture not just the hearts of children, but of parents and caregivers as well.
As the series expands and reaches more families, the emotional authenticity of the stories continues to be a driving force. Pali’s deeply personal commitment to the mission of Bunny Tails is evident in every page. “I wanted to create books that don’t just end with ‘the end,’ but open the door to conversations that stay with families,” she shares. At the end of each story, Pali aids the reader with simple questions to ask the children, so parents, teachers, and caregivers can continue the story beyond the page—helping children name big feelings, feel seen, and build confidence through change. And that’s exactly what Bunny Tails does, it opens doors, fosters connection, and plants the seeds for emotional resilience that will grow with children for years to come.
What’s Next for Bunny Tails?
The future of Bunny Tails looks bright as Pali continues to grow her brand and reach more families around the world. With the expansion of the Spanish edition and plans for future titles, Bunny Tails is poised to become a global resource for families navigating life’s emotional challenges. But no matter where the brand goes, Pali remains committed to the heart of the mission: helping children feel safe, supported, and seen as they navigate the big and small moments of life.
As Pali reflects on the journey of Bunny Tails, she’s reminded of the simple truth that drove her to start the brand: “Children may forget the toys, but they remember the stories, and the love that surrounded them.”
