A dog and a rat find a rabbit flattened in the road. Wanting to move her to a better place, they find inspiration at the park; they carefully fasten her to a kite and let her fly. The story's odd fancy and understated watercolor and line illustrations treat the sensitive topic gently, while the dog and rat prove to be respectful, thoughtful characters.
