It is the hardest thing to correct if left
unattended.
On a dark windy night, Little Grey Rabbit and Little Brown Rabbit have a disagreement.
They part in anger. One goes right, the other goes left.
They move so fast to put space between them, even the wind can’t catch them.
But it catches their angry words and carries them with it.Anger, especially between friends, fogs everything up.
One sits on a wooden seat, the other far away in an
empty bathtub. Nature surrounds them in animal pairs.
Their separation is a lonely and heavy thing. Nothing
feels the same.
The wind blows out their words and reminds them of what friendship means, and what it needs.
Can the morning, bright with light, bring
understanding to the two rabbits?
This is a beautiful reminder of what can happen in
the heat of the moment, especially between friends. This should not mean that
the friendship is over.
When anger cools, the beautiful emotions that
come with calm, move in.
Soft toned colours blend with vibrant ones to create the insightful illustrations. Fine-lined images are juxtaposed against the fragility of the friendship. The powerful movement of the wind on the page indicates how strong anger can be; how destructive.
