What In The World? What The World Could Make: A Story of Hope by Holly M. McGhee

WINTER WHITE FLAKES, A GIFT FROM THE SKY.

"I WISH IT WOULD SNOW FOREVER." SAID BUNNY.

"FOR ALWAYS?" ASKED RABBIT.

"NO, NOT THAT KIND OF FOREVER..." SAID BUNNY. "THE KIND OF FOREVER WHERE YOU REMEMBER IT WHEN IT ENDS," RABBIT SAID.

Tiny white flakes fall against a soft grey sky. Rabbit and Bunny lie on their backs and let them fall, until Rabbit gets up to make a snowball for Bunny--shaped by him, but given by the sky.

In a beautiful world where the friends sniff lilacs blooming in spring and Bunny makes a crown of blooms for Rabbit... In a beautiful world where two rabbits splash in the summer sea shallows and bite into crunchy sea cucumbers...

"A GIFT FROM THE SUN AND THE SEA AND THE SAND..."

And a world in which yellow gingko leaves form magical drifts of gold for the two to jump into... to remember forever....

A world where bunnies climb trees and make snowballs, play in the ocean, and splash in golden leaves, that is the world we visit in Holly M. McGhee's What the World Could Make: A Story of Hope.

In the charming and glorious illustrations by Pascal Lamaitre, two little white rabbits remind us of the many lovely but fleeting beauties of the natural world, too transient to keep, but worth remembering always. Making a memory is a skill, and this gentle story reminds grownups and teaches youngsters that the real gold, the lasting value, is in our memories--if we learn to save them. Says Kirkus Reviews, "The two good pals joyfully exult in yet another bounty of the world in this gentle tale of sharing and seasonal splendor... Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet."
