Peter Rabbit, a young and adventurous rabbit, starts his journey by seeking a new name, hoping to stand out from the rest of his kind. He soon realizes that a name doesn't define his essence.

Through these encounters, Peter learns valuable lessons about the interconnectedness of nature and the importance of understanding the ways of the world around him. He ultimately finds a deep appreciation for his own identity and the special place he holds within the Green Meadows community.Book Details
