Unwrapping Some Illustrations
The Book
This is a wonderful book about waiting patiently and discovering that many things take time to come to fruition.
An adorable little rabbit can't wait until Spring. He is tired and bored and misses sunny days and playing with his friends. His parents tell him to wait and be patient but little rabbit wants Spring now. He seeks out the oldest, wisest rabbit in the forest, his grandma and she tells him to ask the trees. Off he goes to do so.
The trees remain silent which frustrates the bunny. He tries everything possible to get them to respond: shouting, jumping up and down, and listening very hard but to no avail. Exhausted he plops down and nestles into the roots of a tree to have a little rest. When he wakes up he finally gets the answer he has been searching for.
The illustrations are beautiful...whimsical, magical and flowing. The themes running through the book are: patience, perseverance and resilience. Both children (and adults) find it hard to wait so it's a lovely life lesson to be learned early on. The book is a perfect read-aloud in late winter as everyone longs for the sun and the freedom and fun that warm weather brings. I love the book and highly recommend it.
