Told through the original lyrics, the book follows a young rabbit and fox who decide to be friends, even though the grown-ups around them assume they should stay apart. As their playful bond grows, the two slowly show everyone else in their community that “shiny happy people” really can laugh, love, and belong together. Paul Hoppe’s colorful, expressive illustrations keep the tone light and inviting while underscoring the message that there’s always room for more kindness.
