BOOK THE ANIMAL PEOPLE CHOSE A LEADER
The story unfolds in a “Long Ago Time” when animals of all kinds share a common language and gather to consider which of them should be their leader solemnly. After hearing boasts about the qualities of the candidates—Horse’s fleetness, Buffalo’s stamina, Cougar’s patience, Wolverine’s stealth—the conference decides to settle the matter with a race between the challengers around a foreboding mountaintop lake. And there will be one more contestant of the most unlikely sort: a small, charmingly humble rabbit named Waabooz, whose chances are considered slim by all.
