Synopsis

Little Bird has landed in America, far from her home in Scotland and far from the danger that stalked her family. But the new world holds new perils, and soon she's on the run again. From the teeming streets of New York to the prairies of the west, Little Bird holds tight to secrets and dreams of freedom. Then, on her journey, she comes face-to-face with an unwelcome ghost from the past...
The brilliant sequel to Little Bird Flies, this is an exciting story of settling in the New World while still being haunted by everything you've left behind. Themes of emigration and immigration, race and social status are thought-provokingly explored by the brilliant Karen McCombie. A modern Little House on the Prairie!

    "On Christmas we rabbits," says Bunny so shy, 
    "Keep watch to see Santa go galloping by." 
    This delightful story tells of the Little Bun Rabbit who is befriended by Dorothy, a little girl.  She knows the rhyme and asks the little rabbit about it.  Bun Rabbit tells her that indeed, he sees Santa every year as he drives by in his sleigh loaded with toys.  One year Santa stopped to talk with him and ask if he would come to his workshop at the North Pole so he could use him as model to make toy rabbits for little babies.  He agrees and this is his exciting adventure with Santa.  That is why so many stuffed bunny rabbits are made and given at Christmas to be loved by children everywhere.
