Description
Creak, creak, goes the old rocking chair by the window of the burrow. Outside, the spring rain patters softly on the clover. Inside, Mother Rabbit hums a lullaby that her own mother once sang to her, her baby tucked warm against her apron, eyelids drooping, tiny paws curled tight. One more verse, she thinks. Then perhaps one more after that. Some evenings are simply too precious to end. Her baby sighs softly in his sleep, and she smiles to herself.
This little box holds all the tenderness of those quiet rocking-chair moments. It makes a lovely gift for an expectant mother at her baby shower, a new grandmother, or a dear friend on her first Mother’s Day. It also fits beautifully into an Easter basket for someone who adores bunnies. Place it on a nursery shelf beside the real rocking chair, on a dresser among the baby photographs, or close to the crib, holding a hospital bracelet or a first tiny curl.
