A simple, short story about a rabbit who enjoys "unrabbity" things like painting and music. When this special rabbit disappears, the other rabbits are sad, but they find that he has left them paints and instruments and they take up unrabbity hobbies themselves.

The art explodes off the page with energy and joy. I'm sure kids will wonder what happened to the extraordinary rabbit. Did he die or just go away? This ambiguity aside, the story proffers a hopeful message to those who have experienced the loss of someone special. ( )

Glorious pictures. Was not expecting the sudden theme of loss, but it worked for this simple-yet-complex story.

This book has a very cute story line of the positive energy and persona that a bunny can give off. Enlightening the tone of the forest and the relationships among the other rabbits that live in the forest with him, with bright colors, great music and a carefree spirit. When he, the main rabbit, has disappeared suddenly, the entire forest and other rabbits know that things are not the same, things begin to turn gray with no color or music anymore. This book is a fiction genre. the media displayed is water color and ink.

Can be tied in to celebrating what makes each of us unique, as a way to address death or grief and remembering.

A lovely, affecting story about loss and longevity. ( )
