In a deeply moving illustrated fiction parable, an Academy Award–winning director and writer uniquely blends text, art and panels into a modern classic for fans of Watership Down.

When Bunns is born with small but perfectly functional rabbit ears, the warren is abuzz with auguries. Surely such short ears spell bad luck for the community. Sheltered in her family’s burrow, Bunns listens to the rhythm of her mother’s heartbeat – Thump, thump, thump – a song of home and belonging. Her father explains that unlike a rabbit’s words or thumping feet, a heartsong cannot lie. But the unknown world of the meadow, the sounds and smells above, call to Bunns. When at last she’s ready to brave the staring and whispering of neighbours who fear her because she’s different, and the disapproving elders who threaten to banish her family, she finds a world beyond the warren where myths and riddles, magic voyages and important new friends await. Can the âbad omen bunnyâ follow her own heartsong to a destiny – a wish – meant just for her?

Academy Award–winning director, writer and animator Alan Barillaro’s graceful storytelling, warm illustrations and dramatic graphic panels weave light and dark into a seamless tapestry to enchant children and adults alike.
