Review Quotes




"The narrative's structure is deceptively simple, bringing readers along on a strange yet rewarding ride. What at first seems like a story about a rabbit turns into one about the power of imagination. Ortiz's sweetly surreal illustrations make expert use of light and shadow and perfectly capture the intimacy of childhood fantasy. A sweet close-up on the quiet wonder of play."

-- "Kirkus Reviews"
