Sometimes friends are best off with a little time apart. That’s true for Babbit, a rabbit, and Joan, his phone.
​Yet Babbit has never left Joan at home before. Does he dare go out on a solo excursion?
How will he know what to do? What if he gets lost?
This charming, low-tech tale reveals that a small adventure can open up big possibilities for seeing new places, meeting new friends, and coming home to share all about it.

​“Turu’s bright forest colors and creatures liven up the pages, and the humor will entertain adult readers, too. . . . An excellent way to encourage young readers toward low-tech adventures of their own.”
