Roslyn Rutabaga, a little rabbit, decides she will dig "the Biggest Hole on Earth!" before lunchtime. But with an angry worm, grouchy mole, etc., getting in her way, digging to the South Pole proves to be more difficult than she anticipated. In the end, her encouraging father brings lunch to her hole-in-progress. Gay's rich, textured mixed-media illustrations match the story's warmth.

Charlie's family moves to the tiny French village of Celeriac for a year. Hesitant at first to leave Montreal, Charlie soon finds that there can be lots to do in a small town once he opens himself up to the possibilities. Quirky characters populate this light story illustrated with Gay's shaded black-and-white spot-art and full-page illustrations.
