When Rabbits Are Scared

A stark and beautiful picture book about being a child in a world at war. What’s it like to be little when even your own mother cannot guarantee everything will be alright?

Mom says Noah can run faster than bullets, and that’s a good thing, because sometimes bullets hit their apartment block. It’s going to be ok, says Mom. Mom looks after Noah and Noah looks after Wild Rabbit. But one day their apartment block is hit by a bomb, and both Mom and Wild Rabbit are gone.
