A timeless tale by the incomparable Kate DiCamillo, complete with stunning
full-color plates by Bagram Ibatoulline, honors the enduring power of love.
“Someone will come for you, but first you must open your heart. . . .”
Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward
Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was
owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored
him completely.
And then, one day, he was lost.
Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the
ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside
of a hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets
of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle – that even a
heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to
love again.
