From the Inside Flap:

Smudge is the only rabbit in the woods without a brother or sister.  His mother tells him to wait for spring, but that is a long way off.  In the fall, Smudge builds a leaf-and-twig brother, but he blows away.  He builds a snow sister in the winter, but she melts.  Will Smudge's wish for a sibling ever come true?
