Mary Lundquist

From the heartwarming text to the adorable illustrations of little kids dressed as animals, there's so much to love about Mary Lundquist's debut picture book, Cat & Bunny. Cat and Bunny. Bunny and Cat. It's always been just the two of them-daydreaming, having adventures, playing their special game. Until the day someone else asks, "Can I play?" Mary Lundquist captures all the charm and magic of first friendship in her winning debut picture book.

A winter wonderland of a picture book about being kind to friends and strangers alike, perfect for the holiday season. Ash and Pudd take care of everyone in the woods, from their furry and feathered friends to the shivering trees. But then one day, a strange new creature appears in the forest. Could it be a new friend?This story about kindness and generosity is as cozy and sweet as a mug of hot chocolate on a chilly day.

It starts at the start when you can’t even talk. Before you stand up and learn how to walk. Deep in your heart the knowing is there. You know how to love and you know how to care. With warm, gentle rhymes and soft, sweet art, this book celebrates the power we all have to love, and to use that love to make the whole world a better, kinder, more welcoming place.
