Description
“Mama, what comes after the snow?”
“The spring!” says Mama, smiling.
But Bramble doesn’t understand. She has never seen the spring.
Bramble, the littlest rabbit, can't wait for the snow to melt. When spring comes, she'll be big enough to climb the tall tree with her brothers. But snow is all Bramble has ever known.
Hopping from the rabbit family's cosy burrow into the wintry forest where branches dip with the weight of heavy snow, curious little Bramble encounters a very large new friend. Will she recognise the spring when it arrives?
