Patches and Buttons,
written and illustrated by Jennifer Link, is a cute story about overcoming your
fears and becoming friends with someone different. Buttons is a rabbit who is afraid of loud noises and
especially of the family dog, Patches. The book has Buttons running from sounds
and hiding from Patches. When he thinks he’s safe, Patches approaches the cage
with a present. Buttons learns that Patches just wants to play and they become
good friends.
This story has a great message with great illustrations,
simple yet detailed. Ms. Link stated that it has been a long desire to bring
her art to a children’s book for many years. She wrote the story for her nephew
about her dog (Amber) and Buster (bunny). Her wish is that when a child reads
the book, they smile. She accomplishes this very well. My daughter loved the
story so much, she had me read it three times. I really loved this story. I
would recommend Patches and Buttons for
all children who love a simple story about learning to face your fears or just
to enjoy a small story about a rabbit and a dog.
