Matisse and the Runaway Rabbit (Hardcover)

When a cute and curious rabbit appears in Henri’s sunny studio, his first reaction is to chase it away, worried about the chaos it might cause.

As Lapin explores Henri’s studio, the strangest thing starts to happen — his old pictures start to burst into colorful life, encouraging Henri to embrace a new way of creating, full of freedom, and imagination. But this little rabbit isn’t satisfied by simply looking at the pictures…
