Cat Min's debut picturebook lured me in with its intriguing cover and then firmly entranced me with its tale of the generous, introverted Willow. Our rabbit heroine valiantly tries to avoid all outdoor dangers, but she lives in an abandoned mailbox, so the outside world has a way of peeking in. When she receives a letter asking for a very special birthday present, Willow decides to deliver the note to its intended recipient, the moon. Min's exquisitely soft, colorful, and inventive artwork is an easy cushion to fall into. A wondrous book to inspire readers to venture outside their comfort zones, if only for one very good reason.
