Synopsis
Coco is a kitten who was surrendered to a shelter. Stephen is a bunny who has been abandoned in the forest. All they both want is a forever home. When the two see each other for the first time through a glass door in Beth’s foster room—Coco has never seen ears so fuzzy, and Stephen’s never seen eyes so golden!—it’s friendship love at first sight.
Soon their days are filled with hide and seek, the zoomies, and snuggling in the sunlight. They have found not only their forever home, but also a forever friend.
This sweet and simple meet-cute is inspired by the unlikely friendship between a heartbroken kitten and an optimistic bunny whose love captured the attention of thousands of people on Instagram. New York Times bestselling illustrator Joanie Stone fills every page with warmth as this adorably irresistible pair find each other against all odds.
In an author’s note at the end of the book, Beth shares her experiences rescuing animals and offers information about fostering or adopting pets.
