Night Rabbits

Praise

“Posey sets a contemplative mood. . . . [her] languid pace feels like an expression of her tranquil setting, and she depicts both the bond between father and daughter and Elizabeth’s resourceful solution realistically. She also displays a knack for description. . . . Montgomery’s expansive paintings favor the subdued but auspicious lighting of early summer evenings, when time feels distended. . . . he sustains the story’s unhurried, summertime mood.”—Publishers Weekly

“Just as adults need engaging summer reading, children should have some as well. Night Rabbits tells its simple story with just a hint of suspense to keep the pages turning. . . . [Posey] tells the tale with a hint of laid-back regionalism in her refreshingly unhurried storytelling-as well as with a sensitive feel for nature. . . . Montgomery’s detailed, dynamic paintings nicely complement the text, and capture the sense of place so well you’d swear you could hear the crickets chirping yourself.”—The New York Times

“Understated, lyrical text. . . handsome realistic paintings. . . a story of loving connection between child, parent, and the natural world.”—Booklist

“Elizabeth discovers that conflicts with parents can often be resolved more easily than one might think. . . . This [is a] gentle problem-solving story”—School Library Journal
