Rabbit's Gift: A Fable from China

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Dronzek. In the steadily falling snow, Rabbit discovers two turnips. He leaves one outside Donkey's door, who leaves it for Goat. And so the gift is passed anonymously from friend to friend, until all the animals gather to share it together. The repetitive text and wintry acrylics match this tale's gentle tone. Chinese characters adorn some of the spreads. An author's note provides source information.
