Description

A gorgeous wordless adventure story about a rabbit and a tree, their surprising friendship, and the distance they go to find a place to call home.

Bunny and Tree first meet when the tree observes a ferocious wolf threatening the bunny and comes to its protection. From that moment on, there is a bond of trust between the two, which flowers not only into friendship, but amazingly, into a road trip adventure, when Bunny, who's looking for his rabbit friends, convinces Tree that it's time to uproot and see the world. Compelled by sympathy and a shared purpose, Bunny and Tree hit the road, becoming another tremendous and memorable picture book odd couple. Depicted in bright colours in a world of lavish skies and so much to see, Bunny and Tree share in wonder, adventure, misadventure, solidarity, and a sense of homecoming.

'Bunny & Tree seems to be written in sentences made of pictures, as short as a few spreads, or in long, extended riffs. With gorgeous washes of gouache for the landscapes (elegant as Steinberg watercolors), obsessive scribbly drawing for the characters inhabiting them (reminiscent of Hockney), and an exquisite quality of production—the printing and the paper—it feels like a book to treasure. Bunny & Tree will reward little children for its story, adults for its art, and everyone for its buoyant spirit.' – Paul Zelinsky, Caldecott medalist

'Finishing the last page of Bunny & Tree is like waking from a dream—one you did not want to end. Filled with surreal adventure and magical thinking, Zsako has created a secret world unlike any other, and like all Enchanted Lion books the production is top-notch, produced with attention to every detail.' – Lane Smith, Kate Greenaway medalist and Caldecott honoree

'This is a masterpiece of a book, rich with imagination and the most stunning artwork. I ooh-ed and ahh-ed with each page turn and was surprised and delighted along each step of Bunny and Tree's journey. I have followed Balint’s work for years because of its beauty and complex conceptual imagery, which shines in this book too. It's a story of friendship, kindness, generosity, regrowth and courage, a truly heartwarming tale we all could benefit from right now.' – Julia Rothman ― Illustrator & NYT columnist

'An epic folktale told with the quiet beauty of an illuminated manuscript. Balint Zsako is a visual poet.' – Nicholas Blechman, Illustrator & designer
