Rabbit wants to give his Nana a present just because he loves her. A crow tells him about where he can find the perfect gift. Little rabbit travels through a grand forest and discusses his quest with the moon hiding there. He travels further and asks a stickler about a perfect gift for his Nana. He crosses a big big lake and meets a big big fish and tells him about his quest. He finds a volcano on the other side of the lake who also offers a gift idea. Nothing seems right for his Nana until he finds the perfect gift where the crow said it would be at the top of the mountain. Will Rabbit's nana like it?

A gift for Nana takes us on an engaging quest. I especially liked the underlying moral to the ending. I appreciated the cute, yet artistic artwork that enveloped the reader in each page. I enjoyed book on many levels.
