When will the world be mine?: The story of a snowshoe rabbit

byMiriam Schlein(Author),Jean Charlot(Illustrator)

A baby rabbit is born. The mom says “You can have everything. Everything is yours.” And then he goes to a stream and says, “How is the stream mine if it runs away? I don't understand this.” And she replies:, “But it has to run. Otherwise it wouldn't be a stream.” “Well, how is it mine?” “Well, it runs to you, and you can drink it if you need it. So everything is yours, as much as you need it to be.” A young rabbit learns the ways of the world with lithographs by Jean Charlot.
