In a Jar

* Readers will feel the warmth of friendship and the wonder of the world as well. Stunning. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review An enchanting examination of the pleasure reaped from cultivating imagination, friendship, and memory. --School Library Journal, starred review * Marcero works magic with prismatic watercolors, ink, and pencil, as her light-filled illustrations chronicle the young rabbits' exploits and their appreciative wonder of the world around them . . . This joyful account of friendship will charm readers with the notion of capturing wind or a rainbow in a jar, but its deeper message of maintaining relationships over a distance will comfort those who have moved or know someone who has. --Booklist, starred review Marcero provides a metaphor for the importance of capturing fleeting moments, and an image of a friendship that overcomes separation. --Publishers Weekly Cozy yet also endearingly offbeat. This could make an interesting partner to Denos' Here and Now in a celebration of moments, or it could couple with Doerrfeld's Goodbye, Friend! Hello, Friend! for a discussion of how sharing feeds a friendship. --BCCB This is a book about friendship and how true bonds can transcend geographical distance. This is one to remember when a child experiences the unexpected departure of a friend. --School Library Connection
