Product Information

"To make the book, Garoche created the cut-paper art, built three-dimensional sets in dioramas, then lit and photographed them with remarkable depth, crisp edges and soft shadows. The result is pure magic." -- Shelf Awareness "Subtle nuances of light and color lend a delicate beauty to the illustrations for this wordless tale of a rescued wild creature who returns the favor ... A silent, magical encounter." -- Kirkus Reviews "Garoche, reprising the same technique she used in Fox's Garden, constructs and photographs dioramalike cut-paper scenes featuring fanciful characters and backgrounds, a process that gives the final images an eerie, real-yet-unreal quality. In this wordless story, two sisters with yellow hair gaze out the window of their cottage into a snow-covered forest ... The girl in the wheelchair, the vulnerability of the two in the wood, and the delicate rabbit seem to play on a fascination with fear and fragility. Fans of Garoche's previous book will be gratified ..." -- Publishers Weekly "Greater emotional complexity awaits in the hushed pages of Camille Garoche's "The Snow Rabbit," which unfolds without words through enchanting illustrations made of tiny, hand-colored paper cutouts."----Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Wall Street Journal
