Sweet Dreams, Imagination, and Nurturing
I used to adore reading RUNAWAY BUNNY to my child when they were little because the mother seemed so sincere, dedicated, and loving and the drawings were so imaginative. But I slowly realized how problematic the mother-child relationship was. She stifled her child’s autonomy at every turn. LEAH HONG’S story gives us an affirming and nurturing mother who offers unconditional love while upholding a child’s sense of independence. The illustrations are like soft cuddles, warm cups of cocoa, your favorite love-worn stuffed animal or blanket. With Mom nearby offering reassurance and validation, Bunny can have adventures and flights of fancy knowing she is waiting for him when he returns. Bunny learns from Mom's example and nurtures his own baby elephant. What a beautiful celebration of mother-child relationships, imagination and dreams, literature, and the joy of coming home.

Beautiful bedtime book

When Little Bunny struggles to find rest, Mommy Bunny suggests turning persistent thoughts into dreams. The idea opens a beautiful doorway to sleep that's filled with adventures, from a ride on the back of a bee, to an ocean filled sky. The conversation between Little Bunny and Mommy Bunny is incredibly tender, and every whimsical illustration presents a delightful dream starter for young readers preparing for bedtime.

Wonderful bedtime read!
As Little Bunny struggles to sleep, Mommy Bunny nudges her tired little one to use his imagination through a series of fun adventures. Athough Little Bunny's imagination takes him further and further away from home, through epic, beautifully illustrated scenes, he knows that when the adventures end, Mommy Bunny will be waiting for him. For any kid who saves big questions for lights out, HAPPY DREAMS, LITTLE BUNNY will be a welcome library addition. It's a wonderfully cozy bedtime read designed to calm worries and open up the imagination.

Such a sweet story!
Kids will be asking to read this sweet, adventurous story over and over. Hong matches the rhythmic text perfectly with dreamlike illustrations that expand as little bunny gets deeper into his own imagination. Momma bunny asks questions that allow little bunny, and also the reader, to explore their imaginations and create their own story. It really is a perfect pairing of text and illustration. This is an instant favorite!
