What’s the Rush? 
by Yiting Lee

An endearing story that will resonate with fans of Mo Willems’ Waiting is Not Easy and a celebration of friendship in the footsteps of Arnold Lobel’s Frog and Toad.

In this warm adventure book, eager Bunny encourages thoughtful Turtle to join him on a trip to a distant mountain.  Along the way, the friends overcome challenges with helpful items from Turtle’s backpack – and Bunny learns the importance of setting aside time for mindful preparation.

The friendship at the heart of What’s the Rush? spotlights the mutual benefit of accepting others for who they are and shows how we grow by caring for others despite our differences.

“This charming journey tale hints at both the need to take action and the importance of careful planning, striking a balance. Using expressive, organic lines, Lee’s watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil illustrations are fanciful and alternate between panels and full-page spreads. Take the time to enjoy this one.”
