How do you keep someone’s love with you when they’re far away? 

This precious book answers these questions and more! Lizzie Lange takes us all on a whimsical adventure, deep in the woods, discovering how one can always hold love for another. Through a unique gift, The Love Box, a mama bunny shows Lil bunny how love can be stored and shared, by using your voice and a little imagination.
