A stuffed toy learns many of life’s lessons from his owner and constant companion, Charlie. When Charlie plays the tuba, Bunny learns about “loud.” When Charlie plays doctor, Bunny learns about “ouch.” Harriet Ziefert and Barroux charmingly tell the tale of an inseparable pair who learn about the daily delights (along with the bumps and bruises) of friendship and love.

Harriet Ziefert's profile page

Harriet Ziefert knows about transitional objects from her five grandchildren. She draws on her experiences with two puppies, a bunny, a teddy, and a pink blankie. Thank goodness none were ever lost... except the one left in a limo in NYC. But that's a story for a different book.

Barroux studied photography, art, sculpture, and architecture in France at the famous Ecole Estienne and Ecole Boule. He went on to work as an art director in Paris and Montreal. While in Montreal, Barroux began illustrating by creating linocut images, and he is now well known for his children's book illustrations.
