This curious bunny sees the light, not just the shadows. What if the shadows aren’t the whole story? What if there is more? The brave bunny decides to follow the glow and discovers a whole beautiful world above ground. When the bunny returns and shares this discovery, the other bunnies are doubtful – why would they question what they've always known to be true? But slowly, the bunnies gather the courage to look for themselves, and everything changes!
