Publisher's Summary
A lavishly illustrated woodland tale, adapted for audio, with a classic sensibility and modern flair - from the fertile imagination behind Wicked.
Gregory Maguire turns his trademark wit and wisdom to an animal adventure about growing up, moving on, and finding community. When Papa doesn't return from a nocturnal honey-gathering expedition, Cress holds out hope, but her mother assumes the worst. It’s a dangerous world for rabbits, after all. Mama moves what’s left of the Watercress family to the basement unit of the Broken Arms, a run-down apartment oak with a suspect owl landlord, a nosy mouse super, a rowdy family of squirrels, and a pair of songbirds who broadcast everyone’s business. Can a dead tree full of annoying neighbors, and no Papa, ever be home?
In the timeless spirit of E. B. White and The Wind and the Willows - yet thoroughly of its time - this gem for animal lovers of all ages features an unforgettable cast that comes to life. This tender meditation on coming of age invites us to flourish wherever we find ourselves.
