The Snow Rabbit

I will start off by explaining that The Snow Rabbit is a book with no words. The story comes from the illustrations, so I think the story can be different for different people.

It’s a winter day, when two sisters are looking out the window at the snow. One sister goes outside and makes a rabbit out of snow while the other sister watches her from the window. The first sister brings the snow rabbit inside to show her sister, who we see is in a wheelchair. The snow rabbit starts to melt so both sisters take him back outside. The rabbit then comes to life where the sisters following him deeper into the forest, until the wheelchair gets stuck. The Snow Rabbit gets bigger and bigger, and the one sister helps her other sister get out of her wheelchair and she rides the rabbit back to their house.

I’m not sure how much I liked The Snow Rabbit. I thought the illustrations were beautiful, they are like cut out paper; but I didn’t really understand the story. I like to think that the sisters are twins, but one is in a wheelchair. I’m not sure what it means that the rabbit started to grow when the sisters were stuck.
