This would actually make a really sweet gift to read on one's wedding or anniversary. Williams' soft full page illustrations are so dreamy. It's about a little black rabbit and a little white rabbit who do everything together and are the best of friends. But the little black rabbit gets sad when he starts thinking about his wish to be with the white rabbit "forever and always". When he finally shares this wish of his, the white rabbit is so happy, she promises to be his "forever and always". They get married with dandelions tucked behind their ears, which is my favorite part!
Calling all 90's kids.... how nostalgic are these illustrations? I feel like these kinds of books contributed to the "cottagecore" aesthetic that is so popular right now! Never underestimate the influence of the artwork/illustrations you saw as a child. That's why picture books are so important! Lanza's illustrations are very reminiscent of Cyndy Szekeres, in fact, I was sure this was one of her books when I picked it up.
