I was unable to download and read this book before it expired, so I'm unable to give an honest review of it.
So sweet and meaningful. What a wonderful book that means so many things to so many people. A truly inspiring read and one that will soar in the charts.
In Miracle we meet a husband and wife rabbit who long to add to their family. Unfortunately, the journey is hard and a bunny is not guaranteed. The title of the book, though, does remind readers that a miracle will happen -- they will end up with a bunny all their own whom they treasure. At the close of the book we learn this somewhat mirrors the experience the author and his wife experienced.
My only caveat would be that, while this would be a meaningful book to gift to a couple who has welcomed their own "miracle" after a difficult journey, I suggest it shouldn't be given before then (when a couple is still in the uncertain, "will it ever happen for us?" stage).
Merle and Pearle the rabbit couple want a baby very, very badly, but are having trouble making one on their own. It's somewhat unclear whether they are finally able to conceive or if they adopt a baby rabbit, but they embark on quite a journey to finally get a tiny bunny of their own. The illustrations are lovely, even if the plot is a little confusing - and an adopted kiddo probably wouldn't notice, since the book's message is primarily about how happy Merle and Pearle are to have finally expanded their little family.
This shot straight to my heart because my husband & I have had our own problems filling our nest.
I know what it's like to feel like everyone around me has a child or a baby or is pregnant - or all of the above. Months and years pass knowing that our dream is nearing its end.
I read this book through the first time and I was so moved. I read it through a second time and started crying. All the cute animations and the perfectly phrased sentences took me right back to all of those hopeless feelings and the wonderful amazing feelings when we finally did get our miracle.
Jason Pinter has created a beautiful tribute to his own nest.
I highly highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone but especially for those who have had their problems and been lucky enough to get their miracle. Share this with your own miracle(s) to show them how much you love them and how grateful you are that they finally came along.
Two rabbits fall in love, marry and want a family. But they can't. And they try everything, as show below, go to the deepest depths, the highest heights.

And in the end, they have their baby.
The thing is, this might be a good present for a child, to show how much their parents loved them, and what they went through, or perhaps a gift for a couple who finally are able to conceive.
But for everyone else, this is just not quite it. If you haven't struggled with getting pregnant, I don't think you will understand this book. And children might not get that this is supposed to be a reassuring book.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
Miracle is a very special picture book that is actually meant for adults. It sends a message of hope even when times are tough. The illustrations fill the book with meaning. Love this book for adults, not really meant for children.
The illustrations in this book are done very well and children will love them. The story content seemed a little strange to me for a children's book. I feel children won't understand it very well.
