Peter Rabbit

by Beatrix Potter, Donald Kasen (Adapted by)

Overview

Peter Rabbit is a classic tale of a mischievous young rabbit who disobeys his mother's warning and sneaks into Mr. MacGregor's garden. While his siblings enjoy gathering blackberries, Peter indulges in fresh vegetables, only to be caught by the farmer. After a frantic chase and a series of narrow escapes, Peter eventually makes it out of the garden, exhausted and without his jacket. He returns home, where his mother scolds him for disobeying but forgives him, as his terrifying adventure serves as enough punishment. This charming story highlights the consequences of disobedience in an engaging and playful way.

About the Author

Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and spent much of her childhood drawing and studying animals. The Tale of Peter Rabbit¸ published in 1902, was her first book, expanded from an illustrated letter she had sent to a young friend. Beatrix Potter went on to publish more than 20 tales and collections of rhymes.

Cindy Thornton (b. 1975) is a contemporary illustrative painter currently residing in Orlando, Florida. Her whimsical and vibrant style often incorporates bold colors, clean lines, and touches of surrealism. Many of Cindy’s works have unique and hidden meanings that challenge the imagination, but a common theme found throughout her art is love. That central theme is expressed, sometimes subtly, in thought-provoking dreamscapes that are frequently embellished with touches of quirkiness and humor.

Much of Cindy’s work also conveys a sense of simplicity and childlike innocence. In fact, her three young children offer a tremendous source of inspiration. Cindy’s love of nostalgic music, interest in science, and appreciation of nature also influence her artistic choices.

Cindy studied art in college but didn’t begin actively selling her paintings until 2005. Since then, she’s been able to sell hundreds of original works to collectors around the world, collaborate with local and Asian galleries, and display her art annually at an international art fair in Taiwan. She also regularly participates in art events and festivals in the southeastern United States. When she’s not painting, Cindy enjoys family life with her husband and imaginative kids.
