When Little White Rabbit imagines, the illustrations are presented on a two-page spread, color and image spread from edge to edge. This small to large motif adds the idea of imagination being beautiful and endless. Rendered in color pencil and acrylic paint, Henkes’ illustrations are buoyant. Spring green and soft, clear blue dominate, while accents of pink and yellow add subtle contrast. The colored pencil applications give the illustrations a soft-focus look while the acrylic paint gives Little White Rabbit and the other animals definition and substance. “Little White Rabbit” is a delightful story to share with toddlers and preschoolers. It is a story that children will want to visit again and again. Look for this title in the Buncombe County Public Libraries.
