From New York Times-bestselling author, proud animal foster parent, and spokesperson for the world’s largest no-kill rescue and adoption organization Beth Stern comes the heartwarming story of an abandoned bunny and a discarded kitten who each found their forever home and became best friends.

Coco is a kitten who was surrendered to a shelter. Stephen is a bunny who has been abandoned in the forest. All they both want is a forever home. When the two see each other for the first time through a glass door in Beth’s foster room - Coco has never seen ears so fuzzy, and Stephen’s never seen eyes so golden! - it’s friendship love at first sight. 
Soon their days are filled with hide and seek, the zoomies, and snuggling in the sunlight. They have found not only their forever home, but also a forever friend.

This sweet and simple meet-cute is inspired by the unlikely friendship between a heartbroken kitten and an optimistic bunny whose love captured the attention of thousands of people on Instagram. New York Times-bestselling illustrator Joanie Stone fills every page with warmth as this adorably irresistible pair find each other against all odds. 

In the back matter, Beth shares her story of rescuing animals and educates little readers about the responsibility of caring for animals. She will create a check list of the things you need to be ready for when you bring a pet into your house.
Margaret McNamara is the author of five other titles about Mr. Tiffin's class including How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?, which was awarded the Oppenheimer Toy Portfolio Best Book Gold Award, and The Dinosaur Expert, which received three starred reviews. She is also the author of countless other picture books, including Vote for Our Future, which Kirkus Reviews called "essential" in a starred review. Ms. McNamara lives in New York City.
