A poignant, timeless and uplifting tale from the bestselling author of The Lion Inside.

In the quiet and still of the evening, a tall rabbit and a small rabbit sit on the high hill and watch the sun go down, rabbits together. The tall rabbit feels like the luckiest rabbit in the whole, wide world, whilst the small rabbit wonders if his luck falls a little short.

But when a storm rumbles overhead and raindrops splash on their noses, they both realise something wonderful: it's not what you have in life... but how you choose to look at it.

A tale of love, gratitude and seeing the magic and wonder in everything. Perfect for fans of Guess How Much I Love You and I Love You to the Moon and Back, this stunning picture book from two creators at the top of their game is the ideal gift to share with someone you love.
