Description
A gorgeous wordless adventure story about a rabbit and a tree, their surprising friendship, and the distance they go to find a place to call home.
Bunny and Tree first meet when the tree observes a ferocious wolf threatening the bunny and comes to its protection. From that moment on, there is a bond of trust between the two, which flowers not only into friendship, but amazingly, into a road trip adventure, when Bunny, who's looking for his rabbit friends, convinces Tree that it's time to uproot and see the world. Compelled by sympathy and a shared purpose, Bunny and Tree hit the road, becoming another tremendous and memorable picture book odd couple.
Depicted in bright colors in a world of lavish skies and so much to see, Bunny and Tree share in wonder, adventure, misadventure, solidarity, and a sense of homecoming.

Starred Review
Imaginative power and constant movement make this wordless debut picture book from artist Zsako a visual tour de force. After a wolf chases a band of scattering bunnies, one white rabbit with colorful ears is pursued as far as a tree, which responds by transmogrifying--its leafy silhouette duplicating the predator's greedy snarl. Stunned and grateful when the wolf turns tail and runs, the bunny asks the tree for help finding its fellow rabbits. (The two communicate via droll, blackboard-style illustrated thought bubbles.) The bunny excavates the tree's root system and packs it into a red cart, and the duo set off on an epic journey. Along the way, the tree obligingly remakes itself into new forms of transportation that suit the terrain--a train, a boat, an airplane--and a glad bunny reunion ushers in further discovery and transformation. Atmospheric backdrops create the sense of passing time as the journey hurtles onward. The page-turning tale mixes classic storytelling tropes--the ability to transform, a quest for lost loved ones, trees' majesty--into a fanciful exploration of a world in which love leads to growth, and growth, in turn, to deeper love. Ages 7-up. (May)
