In a Jar
Llewellyn is a little white bunny who likes to collect things in small jars. He collects leaves, feathers, stones, and other simple artifacts of nature. When he meets another collector named Evelyn, he soon expands his collection to include more expansive things like sunsets, rainbows, and the wonders of winter, which he shares with her. This can be read as a whimsical story about collectors and nature appreciation, or as a metaphor for love. The lovely cadence of the writing is well-matched by the distinctive, creative illustrations that will stretch young imaginations. How, for instance, would you bottle wonder? Young readers can also pore over all the jars and their contents —all familiar things, for the most part, that one just doesn’t see in jars. ©2021 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
