The Picture Book Review
Little Rabbit’s Questions — with its black-and-white ink illustrations and elegant touches of blues, reds, and yellows — is a stunning picture book that is a new take on a classic theme of growing up and a mother’s love for her child

Every word, every sentence, is absolutely brimming with love.Description
Little Rabbit is playing outside in the garden with questions popping up into his mind. He was curious about Mama's big eyes, long ears and strong legs. Chinese brush painting combines naturally and perfectly with the little sweet talk between the little rabbit and his mother.
