The rhino costume Open your heart to life A universal tale about emotional hypersensitivity Sometimes the weight of the world can be really heavy to bear. The rhino costume is the story of a little girl who feels everything deeply. Seeing a stray dog, trash in the wild can ruin her day, and she doesn't know how to accept the sadness of others. When the tenderness and sadness of the world seems more than she can bear, she decides to build a rhino costume to protect herself. Within this thick skin, the pain of the world is easy to ignore. Yet she is learning that by isolating herself from this pain, she is also distancing herself from her ability to experience goodness and her ability to help others. The rhino costume is a story that takes you from fear to courage, from rupture to fullness to open the door to all life.
