Elizabeth treasures the rabbits who dance on the lawn in front of her familys summer cabin. On hot, sleepless nights, she goes out to the porch and watches a magical nocturnal scene: gentle rabbits frolicking in the grass to a chorus of night sounds. But the rabbits are eating the grass that her father has cared for all summer, and Elizabeth must come up with a solution that both protects the rabbits and helps her father care for the lawn.
