Synopsis
Smudge, the only rabbit in the woods without a sibling, longs for a brother or sister. His mother advises him to wait until spring, but the wait feels endless. Through autumn and winter, Smudge creates companions from leaves and snow, yet they don't last. As spring arrives, Smudge's patience is rewarded with the arrival of not one, but three new siblings. This heartwarming tale beautifully captures the anticipation and joy of welcoming new family members.
