“A little white rabbit hops through the woods and fields and wonders about all the things he sees. When he scurries through the grass, he wonders what it would be like to be green. As he lopes past fir trees, he wonders what it would be like to be tall. When he gazes up at graceful butterflies, he wonders what it would be like to soar in the breeze. But when he returns home to his mama, he doesn't have to wonder what it's like to be loved!”
— Megan Graves, Hooray for Books!, Alexandria, VA

Description


Caldecott Medalist and New York Times–bestselling author Kevin Henkes's glorious story stars a rambunctious and adventurous little white rabbit who discovers, in the end, that a mother's love is constant and true.

Little white rabbit hops along, exploring and wondering: What would it be like to be as tall as a tree? Or as still as a rock? Or green, like the bright spring world around him? It's wonderful to wonder about many things and exciting to explore the world—but true happiness is knowing where you belong and who loves you best of all.

Bright greens, yellows, pinks, and purples—the welcome colors of spring—dance across the pages of this pitch-perfect and critically acclaimed book for very young children.

This national bestseller by award-winning author Kevin Henkes is a wonderful choice for Easter baskets, as a gift for a new baby, for reading before bedtime, or for sharing anytime.
