Rabbit Rabbit

Dori Hillestad Butler

Twelve-year-old cousins Bee and Alice reconnect at their grandparents’ fiftieth anniversary after years apart. Although they live in Minnesota and Seattle and their families remain divided, the girls keep in touch by text and try to uncover the cause of the rift. Bee is questioning teachings from her conservative Lutheran church after realizing she likes girls, while Alice’s learning differences are better supported by changes to school during the COVID-19 pandemic.
