So Happy!

Though planted with care, a round brown seed needs water to grow, and there is none. Leaving his large family behind, a small white rabbit roams the green and yellow desert, exploring every which way until he is completely lost. Surrounded by toys, a young boy can`t find anything to do. Then a huge storm arrives, darkening the skies as rain pours down. At this moment, the desert stories of an extraordinary seed, a tiny rabbit, and a bored boy intertwine. With rustic, earth-toned watercolor and white gouache paintings.
