Who Is Boo? The Terrific Tails of One Trickster Rabbit

Description (Rabbit in the Yard Productions): 
Who Is Boo? is a children's book series that chronicles a perpetually curious rabbit, on his continuous race around the world with his brother .

Along the way, Boo meets many animals.

The title character is inspired by trickster characters prevalent in all ethnicities.

The first of a series of adventure stories about this fleet-footed rabbit, ‘Boo’ is about curiosity that leads to wonderment that leads to helpfulness! In a world that runs the risk of become more disconnected (even though there is an abundance of social networking), it’s about stopping, connecting, and helping those we meet on our way.
