Cottons series.
Illustrated by
Heidi Arnhold.
The Cottons process carrots into "cha," the economic foundation of a rich rabbit culture. But they're threatened by the foxes who scheme to control the mines, the cha, and the Cottons' territory. In this series-starting graphic novel, mixed-media illustrations infused with an Art Deco palette and sensibility are entrancing in their detail of the complex animal world. Contextual back matter furthers the richly imagined fantasy premise.
