Cress Watercress by Gregory Maguire
Cress Watercress is a young rabbit trying to find her place after her family moves to a new home in the Hollow. As she meets curious forest neighbors, faces small dangers, and helps her mother care for her brother, Cress learns about courage, friendship, and growing up. Her journey is filled with gentle humor, warm illustrations, and moments that show the magic of the natural world.
