Illustrated by
Roxanna Bikadoroff.
When Lavinia the badger catches a rabbit stealing vegetables from her garden, the rabbit begs for mercy, promising to help with the gardening. Each night bunnies with musical instruments appear and play magical music. Lavinia shares the bountiful harvest, and a friendship is cemented. The rhyming text and gentle, full-bleed illustrations (in ink, watercolor, and colored pencil) reflect the enchantment of a night garden.
