Synopsis

"I just wish that I could be with you forever and always.”

Each day, two little rabbits—one white and the other black—play together happily in the forest. But between their games, the little black rabbit can’t help but sigh as he thinks about his secret wish.

Sometimes, though, all it takes to make a wish come true is to wish a little harder for a happy ending.

This luminous and enchanting picture book by illustrator Garth Williams, beloved for his illustrations in Charlotte’s Web and Little House on the Prairie, “will delight the youngest readers” (School Library Journal), as well as adults with a love for classic stories.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Garth Williams is the renowned illustrator of almost one hundred books for children, including the beloved Stuart Little by E. B. White, Bedtime for Frances by Russell Hoban, and the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

He was born in 1912 in New York City but raised in England. He founded an art school near London and served with the British Red Cross Civilian Defense during World War II. Williams worked as a portrait sculptor, art director, and magazine artist before doing his first book Stuart Little, thus beginning a long and lustrous career illustrating some of the best known children's books.

In addition to illustrating works by White and Wilder, he also illustrated George Selden’s The Cricket in Times Square and its sequels (Farrar Straus Giroux). He created the character and pictures for the first book in the Frances series by Russell Hoban (HarperCollins) and the first books in the Miss Bianca series by Margery Sharp (Little, Brown). He collaborated with Margaret Wise Brown on her Little Golden Books titles Home for a Bunny and Little Fur Family, among others, and with Jack Prelutsky on two poetry collections published by Greenwillow: Ride a Purple Pelican and Beneath a Blue Umbrella. He also wrote and illustrated seven books on his own, including Baby Farm Animals (Little Golden Books) and The Rabbits’ Wedding (HarperCollins).
