• “Exhilarating… Graceful text and evocative illustrations combine in this story about the rewards of facing fears and trying something new.” – Kirkus Reviews, starred review

  Rabbit isn’t sure he’ll ever be brave enough to go on an adventure. He’s a homebody who lives in a quiet field of wheat, and dreams of leaving every night. His world is enlarged by his friend Dog, and Dog’s many tales of motorbike adventures. But one day, Dog is gone, and with him, go the stories Rabbit loves so dearly. Dare Rabbit pick up the motorbike and live his own story? This timeless fable of the journey from grief to acceptance will touch every reader. For those confronting loss or those eager to explore and experience, Rabbit’s bravery in the face of sadness will console, nurture, and inspire.
