\"Dear<\/a>A little girl answers her bunny\u2019s question of \u201cWhat\u2019s your favourite thing in the world?\u201d in a sweetly revealing letter. She chronicles their day together, listing everything she likes to do with her furry buddy, from choosing socks to appreciating how her bunny cools her breakfast porridge.<\/p>\n

On the playground, the inseparable pair take turns swinging, climbing trees, and watching birds; at the zoo, their companionship provides courage. They share rainy laughter and hand-holding comfort through sadness; their nights are cozier because of each other.<\/p>\n

London author Katie Cotton\u2019s unembellished prose is a grateful ode to friendship, celebrating the fun but also mindful of necessary moments of apology and occasional tears. Madrid-based artist Bianca G\u00f3mez<\/a>\u2019s whimsical drawings lend a childlike charm to polka-dotted pajamas, many-colored falling leaves, and sparsely lit windows in an evening cityscape.<\/p>\n

The girl\u2019s final reveal of her single \u201cfavourite thing\u201d is the perfect reminder that even in a wide world of endless possibilities, life\u2019s best joy is but a hug away.<\/p>\n
