In Miracle we meet a husband and wife rabbit who long to add to their family. Unfortunately, the journey is hard and a bunny is not guaranteed. The title of the book, though, does remind readers that a miracle will happen -- they will end up with a bunny all their own whom they treasure. At the close of the book we learn this somewhat mirrors the experience the author and his wife experienced.
My only caveat would be that, while this would be a meaningful book to gift to a couple who has welcomed their own "miracle" after a difficult journey, I suggest it shouldn't be given before then (when a couple is still in the uncertain, "will it ever happen for us?" stage).

Two rabbits fall in love, marry and want a family. But they can't. And they try everything, as show below, go to the deepest depths, the highest heights.
And in the end, they have their baby.
The thing is, this might be a good present for a child, to show how much their parents loved them, and what they went through, or perhaps a gift for a couple who finally are able to conceive.
But for everyone else, this is just not quite it. If you haven't struggled with getting pregnant, I don't think you will understand this book. And children might not get that this is supposed to be a reassuring book.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Merle and Pearle the rabbit couple want a baby very, very badly, but are having trouble making one on their own. It's somewhat unclear whether they are finally able to conceive or if they adopt a baby rabbit, but they embark on quite a journey to finally get a tiny bunny of their own. The illustrations are lovely, even if the plot is a little confusing - and an adopted kiddo probably wouldn't notice, since the book's message is primarily about how happy Merle and Pearle are to have finally expanded their little family.
