Llewellyn is a little rabbit and he loves to collect things in jars. He collects stones, feathers, buttercups, etc. These simple things give him deep and complex memories. One day, he meets another bunny, Evelyn and from then on, they start collecting together. They start collecting very special and unique things like rainbows, snow, and the sound of the ocean.

One day, Llewellyn gives Evelyn a jar full of light as a memory of a sunset. From then on, they become best friends. They fill Llewellyn's walls with all these jar-shaped images. 

Unfortunately, one day, Evelyn had to move away with her family. Llewellyn feels so empty, but he decides to send her a special gift. Llewellyn also finds out how to share his memories and collections with Evelyn even though she is far away. So, they maintain their friendship even when far away from each other.

This is a soft and adorable book with dreamy illustrations. This book tells us why it is important to share experiences and memories with others. This book would be a perfect read-aloud for little kids and toddlers, and a good read for elementary kids.
