On the left side of the image, Girl sits playing a flute, holding it up to her lips with both hands. She has long, wavy black hair flowing past her shoulders, warm medium-brown skin, and rosy cheeks. She wears a coral-pink zip-up jacket over a darker pink/magenta top, blue jeans, and white sneakers with blue accents. Her eyes are closed and her expression is sorrowful, with tears visible on her cheeks. The warm golden-yellow watercolour background behind her suggests soft indoor light from a window. The right ~40% of the image is plain white background.

Gus sits in a pink zip-up top. She is sad, and a drop drips. The flute hums a sad song.

On the right side of the image, leafy tree branches with lush green leaves extend inward from the upper-right corner, with a few loose leaves drifting away in the breeze. Blue musical notes float among the branches and swirl through the air toward the left, carried by the wind. The left side is open white background with faint, wispy breeze lines suggesting gentle movement. The scene is a bright, outdoor daytime setting evoking a light, airy mood. No characters are present in this image.

The sad song drifts up from Gus. It zigs and zags in the tree. The bits flit and float.

On the left side of the image, several green teardrop-shaped forms (resembling both tears and leaves) drift downward through a soft watercolour sky, falling toward pale blue-grey clouds that billow across the lower right. A patch of blue sky is visible in the upper left corner, while the overall scene evokes a gentle, melancholy atmosphere of tears transforming into rain as they sink into the clouds. No characters are present in this illustration — it is a purely atmospheric, abstract scene.

Green drops drift and zigzag. The mist soaks up the drops and sobs. Rain drips and drips.

On the right side of the image, Brown Rabbit and Black Rabbit sit close together beside a tree trunk, looking out with sad, downcast expressions as rain falls around them. Blue raindrops streak down from above, and the rabbits appear to be sheltering near the base of the tree. Behind them, bright yellow sunflowers and red flowers fill the background, and Bird is perched among the sunflowers on the far right, looking small and huddled in the rain. The left side of the image is plain white background.

Drip, drop! A raindrop zaps Brown Rabbit. Black Rabbit sits at the tree, and Pip is damp and glum.

On the left side of the image, Sunflower leans down with a concerned, worried expression, turning toward Bee. Bee stands on a green leaf near a blue flower at Sunflower's base, looking up attentively with a curious expression. The outdoor scene is set in a lush garden with colourful flowers and green foliage, but the sky is overcast with soft grey clouds and a light drizzle of rain is still falling. The right ~40% of the image is plain white background.

Sal bends and is upset. The rain drips on Sal. Bee peeks up at Sal. Zip! Bee zips up in the rain.

On the right side of the image, Bird is flying with wings spread wide, beak slightly open, with a curious, wondering expression. Bee hovers just in front of Bird's beak, facing Bird with a concerned, earnest expression and arms gesturing as if mid-conversation. The left side of the image is plain white background. The scene has a soft, watercolour-style white/open-sky backdrop with faint grey clouds, suggesting an outdoor midair moment between the two characters.

Bee zigzags up and meets Pip in the rain. The sad song drifts on. Bee and Pip must seek it.

On the left side of the image, Brown Rabbit and Bird face each other in a close conversational moment. Brown Rabbit is shown from the chest up on the far left, looking up attentively at Bird with a gentle, listening expression. Bird is perched on a small branch with red berries and green leaves, leaning slightly toward Brown Rabbit with a calm, earnest expression, as if making a request. The right side of the image is plain white background, leaving space for text.

Pip lands and asks Brown Rabbit for help. Zip! Brown Rabbit runs. He has zest!

On the right side of the image, Girl is visible in a window above, crying with tears streaming down her face, her expression deeply sad and sorrowful. She is holding a wooden flute near her face with one hand. Below the window, Brown Rabbit stands on the ground looking up at her with a concerned, empathetic expression, as if calling up to her. The left side of the image is plain white background, leaving space for text.

Brown Rabbit zigzags up and spots Gus. Gus has the flute and sobs. She needs mum and dad.

Page 9
On the left side of the image, Girl is kneeling on the grass with a joyful, open-mouthed smile as the critters swarm her with affection. Black Rabbit is leaping into her arms, pressing close to her chest, while Brown Rabbit jumps toward her from the right, both looking happy and eager. Bird is perched on Girl's shoulder near her neck, nuzzling against her with wings spread. Girl has one arm outstretched, embracing the animals. In the background, Sunflower watches the reunion with a happy, warm expression, and Bee hovers nearby buzzing cheerfully. A patch of green grass is visible beneath them. The right ~40% of the image is plain white background.

Black Rabbit zips in, and Brown Rabbit hops up. Gus grins. Pip lands on Gus, and Sal is glad.

Page 10
On the right side of the image, Girl sits happily on a grassy hillside beneath a tree, smiling warmly with her mouth open in joy. Bird perches on her arm, and Brown Rabbit sits contentedly in front of her. Black Rabbit nestles beside her on the other side. Bee hovers nearby above the sunflowers, smiling. The scene is set outdoors in a sunny garden with large sunflowers and colourful flowers surrounding the group, bathed in warm golden light.

The sun is up. Gus and the pals sit in the sun. Bee zips, and Gus is glad.
