Synopsis
Brief text and illustrations tell the story of a boy, a rabbit, and a seed., Though planted with care, a round brown seed needs water to grow, and there is none. Leaving his large family behind, a small white rabbit roams the green and yellow desert, exploring every which way until he is completely lost. Surrounded by toys, a young boy can't find anything to do. Then a huge storm arrives, darkening the skies as rain pours down. At this moment, the desert stories of an extraordinary seed, a tiny rabbit, and a bored boy intertwine. With rustic, earth-toned watercolor and white gouache paintings. Kevin Henkes is the author and artist of the 2005 Caldecott Medal-winning KITTEN'S FIRST FULL MOON.

Industry Reviews
"Lobel's vigorous artwork, a riot of color that pays homage to Van Gogh...captures the rhythm of Henkes' splitting, braided narratives in triptychs alternating with cohesive scenes."
