What happens in the story
Thumper the rabbit finds a pouch of magic rainbow seeds that grow into wish-granting flowers, but they only bloom with the right soil, water, sunshine, and a night of moonlight. Kitty and Dino ready the ground and help an impatient Thumper fill the long wait with songs, until the moon rises at last and the flowers open. His very first wish is for more seeds to share with his friends. It’s a gentle lesson in patience and in sharing what you grow.
Looking for a children’s book about rabbits?
There is no shortage of rabbit books. What makes Thumper’s different is that the whole story is about waiting. He finds a pouch of magic rainbow seeds that grow into wish-granting flowers, but they only bloom with the right soil, water, sunshine and a full night of moonlight.
Kitty and Dino ready the ground and then help an impatient rabbit fill the long wait with songs. His first wish, when the flowers finally open, is for more seeds to share. Good for a child who finds waiting genuinely hard.
