If you could be a different kind of you, what would you wish to be A monkey in a tree Would you be a fluffy fox A slow-moving sloth Or maybe, if you had the choice, you wouldn't be different at all . . . because maybe, right here with the ones you love is the best place in the world to be. Written and illustrated in David Walker's beloved adorable style, this story about the everlasting bonds of love is sure to be a modern classic.
"The rhymes are steady and gentle, set against smudgy, dreamlike backdrops in a palette of lush greens and warm, toasty yellows. The rabbit appears envious of others' abilities but always circles back to a connection with family. It's not a tale of self-acceptance or identity but rather unconditional love." --Kirkus
