"Finishing the last page of Bunny & Tree is like waking from a dream--one you did not want to end. Filled with surreal adventure and magical thinking, Zsako has created a secret world unlike any other ." --Lane Smith, Kate Greenaway medalist and Caldecott honoree
" A book to treasure... Bunny & Tree will reward little children for its story, adults for its art, and everyone for its buoyant spirit." --Paul Zelinsky, Caldecott medalist
Bunny and Tree first meet when the tree observes a ferocious wolf threatening the bunny and comes to its protection. From that moment on, there is a bond of trust between the two, which flowers not only into friendship, but amazingly, into a road trip adventure, when Bunny, who's looking for his rabbit friends, convinces Tree that it's time to uproot and see the world. Compelled by sympathy and a shared purpose, Bunny and Tree hit the road, becoming another tremendous and memorable picture book odd couple. Depicted in bright colors in a world of lavish skies and so much to see, Bunny and Tree share in wonder, adventure, misadventure, solidarity, and a sense of homecoming.

Cooperation, regeneration, and reunification are all conveyed wordlessly in a nine-act adventure story about a rabbit and a tree, their surprising friendship, and the distance they go to find a place to call home.
