Bookroo's summary

Llewellyn the bunny and his friends cherish their dreams, storing them in jars for safekeeping. From small wishes to grand ambitions, each jar holds a future hope. But when a storm destroys their collection, they face a daunting question: why dream if it can all be lost? This beautifully illustrated tale explores resilience and the power of friendship in overcoming setbacks, urging readers to find strength in starting anew.

From the publisher

In this companion to the acclaimed and bestselling picture books In a Jar and Out of a Jar, a little bunny and his friends collect their hopes and dreams for the future in jars. Llewellyn the bunny and his friends dream of many things. Some of their dreams are small, like learning to ice skate, visiting a friend, or acting in the school play. And some of their dreams are big, like going to the moon, or becoming a ballet dancer or a wildlife photographer. Their dreams feel so precious that the bunnies place them in jars for safekeeping. But when a storm comes and destroys their collection of jars, Llewellyn and his friends wonder: what’s the point of dreaming if everything could be lost? This timely, powerful, and beautifully illustrated story of perseverance and resilience explores setbacks, loss, and grief, and shows how–with the help of friends and loved ones–to find the strength to start again.
