Margery Williams’s classic toy story gets a vibrant retelling in this brand new adaptation. When The Child gets the Rabbit for Christmas at first they are disappointed in their gift. But as the two quest and adventure through The Child’s storybooks, both Rabbit and Child grow and care for each other. They discover that love is the greatest force in the Universe and can make impossible things real.
