Bunny inched closer. "May I come in? I'm so tired from my journey."
Willow parted her branches with a gentle swish and led him to a soothing patch of grass.
This is a gorgeously illustrated picture book showing the quiet companionship between an old willow tree and a young bunny.
"In summer, he grazed the clover around her. ... In winter, he warmed himself in the den beneath her."
But one day a terrible storm rolls through - forever changing Willow and Bunny - how can they pick up the pieces? How will they go on?
Whew! I know I said "gorgeously illustrated" above but GOSH DANG did the artist do an amazing job with this book - the soft golden lighting, the sweet rabbit, the seasonal weather - seriously it was amazing and I was THERE for it.
The story took me by surprise! I wasn't expecting the storm to come through and devastate the land - but I really liked how the book showed all of the animals taking care of Willow afterwards and how she was able to be 'saved' - whew!
And I also liked the overall gentle nature of the story - it was very sweet.

The art was everything on this one, and me and my son loved just flipping through the gorgeous pictures almost more than reading the actual book itself. Story wise this a fun yet meaningful tale very reminiscent of a giving tree from my childhood but honestly a bit more endearing having a bunny and woodland animals being the recipients and those in need, also good on them for planting all those saplings, talk about making something out of nothing. 3.5/5

Cute short story about a bunny who finds their home at the roots of a giant willow.
I did not care for the story that much, but ooh, the pictures were stunning! The details, the play with light and shadow! Would not mind hanging art by this illustrator on my walls, if I had free walls to fill with art.

It is time for bunny to find his own way in life and finds his home underneath a grand willow tree. The willow and bunny become best friends. One day a terrible storm with a tornado brings other animals to seek the shelter of the old willow. As the storm passes, willow is broken, but still alive. I am a true tree lover and this book made my heart smile. It was so sweet to see how the animals and nature connected with one another and how there was beauty found in the brokenness.

Wow, I was not prepared for my heart to break and be sewn back together in this heartfelt and wonderful story about a Willow who sacrifices herself to protect the Woodland creature from a storm. The writing is INCREDIBLY emotive and the illustrations are stunning. Definitely one of my new favorite books.

And now that I've read it, I do, too. My mother and I both love the art and appreciate the story. She's not sure children will understand it, but I am pretty sure they will (especially if they are from Oklahoma). Read it to them more than once, and they may feel an inspiration of resilience, which goodness knows they're going to need in this messed up world.
But, yes, adults can read this for themselves, too. Many of you who are my goodreads friends will be glad to do so.

Art is five stars, story is three. The art is gorgeous—peaceful soft, and so green and lush. Bunny is adorable as are the deer. The story is…sort of…odd. The whole ‘Just Bunny and Willow, Willow and Bunny’ sorta weirded me out. I get the point of the story…I guess?

This book is a gorgeously illustrated story of the relationship between a bunny and the willow tree that shelters him as he grows. When dangerous weather (a tornado is heavily implied but never actually named) threatens their home, Willow steps up and shelters all the woodland animals taking damage to herself in the process. The animals return Willow’s kindness by clearing debris and planting her cuttings throughout the wood.
From a teacher’s perspective, I can see this fitting into a primary unit on weather or animal habitats with ease. Teachers of older students could use it as an anchor text for a lesson on figurative language due to the wonderful instances of onomatopoeia used throughout.
As a parent, I loved the thoughtful way Schulte wrote about the frightening weather. It had just enough tension to let young readers know there was danger, but not too much so as not to upset tender hearts. Still, very young children who have recently been through weather related trauma might want to wait a while before jumping into this one.

I talked with one of my coworkers about symbolism & metaphor in picture books and picture books intended audience. Who are picture books intended for? Would my 7-year-old feel the same amount of menace that I felt ? He probably wouldn't. Would he admire the art just like I did? He probably would. This would make a great book to discuss, so I'm torn as to how to rate this. I love the art but I feel conflicted about the story.

At the heart of Willow and Bunny is a story of friendship. It’s also about community, selflessness and the hope that comes after hardship.
Author Anitra Rowe Schulte’s gentle prose sets the tone. Her simple, comfortable text is warm and inviting, with pauses in just the right places, especially when reading aloud. In her text, she translates a big concept into terms little ones can easily understand.
Caldecott Honor artist Christopher Denise’s illustrations have a lovely glow that makes you want to look closer. His almost grainy renderings are full of movement and depth, giving his images an almost ethereal feel.
The suggested age range for Willow and Bunny is 4-8, but it’s probably too simple for an 8-year-old. Kids as young as 2 will love the pictures and ages 3 and up should be able to follow the story.

This heartwarming story about how friends help each other through adversity and how nature recovers from things like Tornadoes and Hurricanes is a good introduction for young kids who may be scared of such things or big changes happening in their lives.

I'd say too saccrhine for my taste, but it's solid. The willow tree is a hero, and the book did pull on my heart at the end.
My son didn't engage with it, but I read it before going to wake him up the other morning, and it was a sentimental start to the day.

An absolutely touching story about a bunny and a willow tree and how they protect one another. The illustrations are colorful and stunning. A lovely read.

There's so much to love here. I really enjoyed the way the story was written and the illustrations are magical.

I was lucky enough to meet both the author and illustrator at ALAAC23 and get a signed advanced copy to read and review. Beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated, this sweet picture book tells the story of the relationship between Bunny and the lovely Willow tree that he calls home.
I plan to use this as a writing mentor text with my 4/5th grade students to discuss:
•Phrases as description (“Tall, strong, soft, and steady.”)
•Adjectives to add to description (gentle swish; soothing patch of grass; ragged canopy)
• Onomatopoeia: RUMBLE; WHIR; ROAR; WHIRL; SMASH; BLAST
•Personification: “Willow eased her grip to a cradle and rocked the animals to sleep.”

Lovely story about friendship and love. I love how Willow takes in ALL the creatures and protects them from the storm.

A lyrical picture book about animals in nature by a huge willow tree. I won't repeat anything about the plot because the blurb says almost everything in the story. I teetered between a 3 and 4 rating, because I'm jaded perhaps. I feel this is mostly for younger children in tone and in no animals actually getting hurt in the storm. Some of the language feels decidedly adult, but in a read-aloud younger children often are still learning vocabulary and looking intently at the art and tone of a parent's voice to make meaning. There is some introduction to nature's ways here, and a scary storm, but overall the feeling of coming through it in safety. Trees can have their branches broken and still survive fine.
I like how the animals are mostly real animals in nature here. The personification is slight through the narrator's voice.
However, then the animals plant the broken branches to grow more trees - ie:share the willow's love. Which is fanciful in terms of animals thoughtful planting. I do love fanciful but this is a bit confusing in terms of the truth and science available in this particular story which visually appears entirely realistic.
The author inaccurately referred to broken bits of the tree as cuttings in the story, though this helps research how this can be done for those who are inspired [like me] to check this out. As an artist I always research for accuracy, and I found plenty of information and videos on how to plant willow branches - but did not find any evidence of fronds being enough to grow a tree. Perhaps this illustrator knows more, but there are definitely visuals of animals carrying off bits of frond included.
I feel the writing was a bit abstract, and the author could have clarified the idea of wanting to create more willow trees because the willow is such a giving [ie: loving] tree for animals, whereas the idea of helping the willow itself isn't clear... this doesn't change the tree itself.
It's a beautiful idea though, and parents could actually grow tree if they have an appropriate place to plant them. Teachers could begin the process though my research is growing them only in water makes for weaker plants.
As for the beautiful art, I personally feel it was slightly marred by the overt obvious digital blurring tool used. The art itself is soft and didn't require this to set the mood of a soft inviting, and dynamically moving alive place. But that is merely my subjective opinion. All the animals appear sweet, accurate, the landscapes are masterful.
However, I got the feeling early in the book when it appears by the text it should be spring [inferred by the later changes and by the line "With bright buds, she said hello." Which poetically is the only time the Willow is made to sound like it literally speaks, though it stopped me a second because "she" is unclear, and my guess is the author did not want to say "Willow said hello" to keep it metaphorical and not personify directly.
I suppose the "bright buds" could be the leaves, but I suspect it should instead have been the catkins that grow in the fronds in spring. These should have been shown in the art, and the tree a bit brighter, in my estimation, but often an artist is not allowed direct communication with the author. So perhaps a confusion occurred. It would have been a nice additional science observation to see how the tree changes from spring to summer.
I try to skip writing reviews where I am not entirely positive, but from the perspective of retired teacher, and trained illustrator, author I feel conflict in how I feel about this story. I think many children will not think about these things and simply love it, like it, or not. The wonderful thing about picture books, and all books, is there are diverse readers. Even from an early age, each person has their own tastes, fears, emotional inner life and for this book offers potential for sharing and changing, asking questions, learning, and other books can fill the gaps or meet kids in other ways.

This beautiful story and the absolutely gorgeous illustrations are quite heartwarming while also giving space for a conversation with your child about the scariness of storms. Reading this story with your child will remind them that their family will protect them, their community will help each other, and there is always hope after a storm.
Bunny comes upon Willow (a large willow tree in the woods) after a long journey. Bunny decides Willow is the perfect place to make a home. Willow and Bunny looked out for each other and became best friends. Friends who protected one another and looked out for each other.
One evening a terrifying storm enters the woods and all the animals run to Willow for protection and safety. When the storm is over, Willow is no longer the same, but the animals are all okay. Bunny and the other animals work together to make their home and Willow a welcoming place again.
Even if you live in an area without tornados or damaging storms, this book can also apply to the storms in our lives that can wreak havoc on our feelings of safety and comfort. Sometimes it can be hard to approach these types of conversations with our children, but books like this create an opportunity for conversation and also teach kids to have empathy for others who may be struggling. Anitra and Christopher have taken a sensitive topic and made it relatable to kids and comfortable for parents to discuss.

Thank you to Two Lions for the eGalley to review!
I knew the moment I saw this book it was going to be special to me and it certainly was. I will 100% admit to tearing up at the gentleness and sweetness of this story and its gorgeous art. Rabbits are my favorite animal and willows are my favorite tree, so I'm definitely biased, but even if I weren't, this is a story of friendship and kindness and reciprocal love. It is just beautiful to look at and it is simple but wholesome.
A voice in the brush tells Bunny to find a safe place to grow. Bunny trusts the voice and goes on a journey to find that safe place. Once he is tired and needs rest, he happens upon Willow, who leads him to a soothing patch of grass under her canopy. He ends up staying and the two become inseparable. One day a storm comes and all the animals in the area come to take shelter with Willow and Bunny. A tornado hurts Willow and the animals agree to do what they can to help her heal. After they have gone (though they come by every once in a while to say hello), Bunny stays with her.
This book is at the top of the recommendation list for me.

A simply gorgeous picture book that doesn't seem to have that much about it at the beginning, but clearly proves its merits with drama later on and warm sentiment to close. A bunny hears a voice to go off and find a place to grow, and that place turns out to be beneath and around a willow tree. But is anything a guaranteed sanctuary in a woodland like this – especially with no limit to the strength of the storm that could come through?
It really surprised me this was digitally produced, for the colours seemed the work of a master at using traditional media. The art doesn't go for the overly twee, or cartoonish – instead naturalism is the aim, and is definitely achieved. I do think, whatever I said earlier about my reaction to the story, the art outshines the text, but that's not to say the drama is a failure – it certainly isn't. And I guess I should applaud the story for being less formulaic than many. But I did find the one aspect of this to be worth five stars, and the other four. Still, that can only total a success, and I wish this well.

What a lovely tale of friendship as a community of animals face a dangerous storm with the assistance of an old willow tree. Bunny loves the forest where he lives, but when his instincts send him out to find a better source of shelter. He discovers Willow and they become companions through all seasons. When a dangerous storm strikes Willow sacrifices herself to protect all the animals that flee to her seeking shelter. Unfortunately, the storm leaves Willow broken and damaged. I couldn't help but smile though when Bunny and the other animals step up to help the tree who helped them. The power of community and friendship shines through in Christopher Denise's luminous, dreamlike illustrations and Schulte's gentle text. I loved the themes related to community and coming together for a common goal. I've long been a fan of the illustrator's gorgeous illustration style, so it didn't take much for me to fall in love with this sweet story. I look forward to sharing this one for years to come.

Willow and Bunny is a beautifully Illustrated story of hope, community, and friendship. Bunny is in need of a new home and after a long journey she meets a big willow tree where she knows she will be safe among its large branches. But then one night a horrible angry storm rips through the woods. All the creatures in the forest are desperate for shelter and the willow tree protects them. When the storm is over the tree is ravaged and will never be the same. We then watch Bunny and the other animals come together to help the tree that kept them all safe in the scary storm. My daughter really enjoyed this one, such a tender, touching tale.

Bunny needs a safe place to live. A beautiful willow tree offers refuge. All through the seasons, Bunny and Willow co-exist as friends. Then one day, a tornado sweeps through. Many animals come to hide under Willow's branches. Bunny assures them that Willow will protect them all. After the storm clears, the animals realize that Willow has been damaged. She is sad to see her downed branches and drooping limbs. But the animals shower her with praise and thanks. Then they take seedlings to plant so that more willow trees can grow and provide safe places.
The illustrations are lovely and the story is a sweet homage to friendship and protection.

What a soulful picture-book! Crystal Kite Award winner, Anitra Rowe Schulte's writing sings and Caledecott Honor Artist Christopher Denise's illustrations glow. Their picture book centres on the blossoming friendship between a willow tree and a bunny rabbit in a "big, wide wood." "In summer, he [Bunny] grazed the clover around her [Willow]. In autumn, he groomed himself beside her. In winter, he warmed himself in the den beneath her." This story celebrates the healing power of nature and the resilience of community spirit. It is also a reminder that true friendship can weather any storm and that companionship is the greatest treasure of all.

Once a Bunny was alone and afraid. He ran across the wood until he saw Willow. Willow invited him in, and protected hi in a den at her trunk. They spent their days together: Bunny and Willow, Willow and Bunny. Then a terrible dark storm came, Willow invited in the animals of the wood and sheltered them in her branches. After the storm, the animals helped Willow get cleaned up, and then it was just Bunny and Willow. This beautifully told and illustrated story of friendship and sacrifice is a must for all ages.

A bunny and a willow tree share a bond that is strengthened when a storm threatens the forest. Willow protects all the animals in the forest from the storm at the cost of her branches being tangled and broken. After the storm, bunny and the animals clean up Willow's tangled branches and plant her cuttings in the forest so they can grow once again. This book shows that there is always hope after an event that leaves us "forever changed," and that through the bonds of friendship and community, we can help each other weather difficult times.

When I read about this book, I just knew it was going to be a special story.
My son and I have a special bond with Willow trees, they are very near and dear to us, so I just had to read this book.
It’s absolutely stunning 😍
A story of the powerful strength of friendship and hope, through a dark time.
This book is magical, and I could feel myself under Willow’s branches. The writing and illustrations were so beautifully executed.

This is a lovely and gently told story about a Bunny and his Willow tree friend who provides a safe space for the bunny to grow. The Willow protects the bunny (and other animals) through a devastating twister. Once the storm has passed though, the animals find Willow has been damaged and changed forever. They pull together to help their friend in a shining example of community. Gorgeous illustrations complement this beautiful story that is perfect for even the youngest of children.
