"Finishing the last page of Bunny & Tree is like waking from a dream—one you did not want to end. Filled with surreal adventure and magical thinking, Zsako has created a secret world unlike any other." —Lane Smith, Kate Greenaway medalist and Caldecott honoree
“A book to treasure… Bunny & Tree will reward little children for its story, adults for its art, and everyone for its buoyant spirit.“ —Paul Zelinsky, Caldecott medalist
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.
