  "Little Bun Rabbit" is the twenty-second and final tale in L. Frank Baum's 1897 collection Mother Goose in Prose.
  Dorothy is a farm girl who is allowed to roam the local meadows and woods and play to her heart's content. She has the rare ability to understand and speak the language of the animals. The kind-hearted child makes friends with Bun Rabbit, and learns about his life and experiences. Bun Rabbit once modeled for Santa Claus, so that Santa could make stuffed bunnies for "the babies" to play with. The rabbit had traveled with Santa to his castle at the North Pole, and stayed for several days to admire Santa's craftsmanship. While there, the bunny was fed clover, turnips, and sliced cabbage by old Mother Hubbard, who keeps house (or castle) for Santa. The toy bunnies Santa created in Bun Rabbit's likeness were so accurate that Bun almost mistook one for a live creature.
  Bun Rabbit chose to walk home from the North Pole, to see the countryside; Santa equipped him with a magic collar that kept the rabbit from harm. The collar melted away and disappeared once Bun Rabbit reached home.

  Feels Like Destiny

  Some roles are earned. Some are fate. Some might cost everything. 
  Larger-than-life actress Jayana “Yana” Gardner arrives in New York certain her big break has finally come. She’s got a casting director boyfriend, an ensemble role on Broadway, and just enough hope to believe things are falling into place. Then everything falls apart. 
  One breakup. One lost job. One eviction later, Yana is single, unemployed, and very much not thriving in a city that does not care. 
  So when Broadway’s most notoriously gruff music director, Langston Washington, offers her a shot at something bigger—a lead role, center stage, the kind of opportunity people wait years for—he’s got her attention. 
  One minor thing: she can’t be herself. On or offstage. 
  The star of his new neo-soul musical has vanished, and Yana looks almost identical to her. Close enough to step into the spotlight. Close enough to save the show. 
  Now Yana’s training in secret, learning choreography and vocals for a role she was never meant to play. Holding together a hidden identity that could fall apart at any second. Because under hot stage lights and watchful eyes, the lines begin to blur. Especially when it comes to Langston. 
  He’s controlled, grouchy, and impossible to read. She’s expressive, optimistic, and already in too deep. They clash. They challenge each other. And somewhere between late night rehearsals and private coaching sessions, the tension shifts into something neither of them planned. Something dangerous. 
  The closer Yana gets to opening night, the harder it is to keep the truth buried. And when questions about the missing star begin closing in, Yana must decide how much she’s willing to risk for the life she always wanted. And for the man who might cost her everything. 
  If you love Broadway romance, secret identities, messy ambition, and sizzling opposites attract chemistry, this one is for you.
