Cress Watercress
A lavishly illustrated woodland tale 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.

Can a dead tree full of annoying neighbors, and no Papa, ever be home? In the timeless spirit of E. B.

This tender meditation on coming-of-age invites us to flourish wherever we find ourselves.
