HOPE IS A HOP

Katrina Moore Melissa Iwai

Just in time for Easter, a moving exploration of hope, from its resilient roots to its sprouting - and surprising! - possibilities.
When Eva's hopes for a cheerful flower garden are dashed by a rascally - and hungry! - rabbit, she sinks into despair. But it's from this new vantage point that she discovers something surprising and wonderful about her four-legged-nemesis that reminds Eva of her own growing family and inspires her to try again.

Told in sweet, lyrical verse, and accompanied by the tenderest illustrations, Hope is a Hop shares a powerful message and the heart-tugging illustrations and bunny rabbit motif make it a natural pick for Easter gifting.
