About this item
Good friends learn a small but important lesson Owl and Rabbit are good friends and live in two small houses next to each other. They are perfectly happy . . . until Rabbit's garden gets in the way of Owl's view. So Owl builds his house a little taller. Only that blocks the sun from Rabbit's vegetables. So Rabbit builds his house taller. And soon it's a house-building frenzy and the two now not-so-good friends have the two tallest houses in the world! All it takes is a gust of wind to remind them that maybe living smaller and together is a much better way to remain friends. The creator of Meet Me at the Moon has delivered another wonderful animal fable for today's world.
About the Author
Gianna Marino was born in San Francisco and spent her early years galloping horses through Golden Gate Park. Her explorations expanded after graduating from high school and in order to afford her many journeys, Gianna had several jobs at once: apprenticing a muralist, a jewelry designer, a product designer and driving horse carriages through the park. Gianna explored many corners of the world, from Africa and Asia, to the South Pacific and Europe, to crewing on sailboats in the high seas. Gianna finally landed a full-time freelance gig designing toys for children, but after several years in a corporate box with no windows, she left for good and began painting, illustrating and writing books for children. She has written over a dozen award-winning books for children, including "Meet Me at the Moon", "Too Tall Houses", "Following Papa's Song", "Night Animals", "Night Animals Need Sleep Too" and "If I Had a Horse". Gianna is a New York Times best-selling illustrator of "Don't Let Them Disappear", written by Chelsea Clinton.Though she still wanders the world, Gianna now lives in Northern California and works full-time writing and illustrating.For more information or to order her books, please visit www.Gianna Marino.com
