Rabbit, Duck, and Big Bear

Nadine Brun-Cosme, illustrated by Olivier Tallec

Rabbit, Duck, and Big Bear are close forest friends who usually share their seasonal activities. One wooded path remains unexplored together because Duck and Big Bear always steer Rabbit away from it. When Rabbit accidentally races down the path on skates one winter day, she finds a large fir tree and wants her friends to see it. Instead, she learns they already know the place and visit it alone for quiet time. Rabbit comes to understand that friendship can include both companionship and solitude.
