What happens on the day two young rabbits decide they don’t want to eat vegetables anymore? As they play in the fields trying to catch mice like the cats do, they come upon an unfamiliar reading a book. The mysterious storyteller teaches them about the first rabbit who, on the very first of days, learned that the sparkling eyes of a mouse aren’t so different from his own. A gentle tale about non-violence and compassion. Ahimsa or nonviolence is the experience of oneness with others. The story conveys this message in a simple but delightful manner. A must-read for all children. – Tara Sethia, Director, Ahimsa Center: Nonviolence in Thought and Action Beautifully written and illustrated. A lovely way to teach kids respect and empathy for other living creatures. – Andy Raskin, author of The Ramen King and I
