A story born in the quiet moments before bedtime.

From a "Mind Story" to a Magical Adventure.

For nearly four decades, Joe Bunny lived only in the imagination—a "mind story" told by Jen and her husband to help their children fall fast asleep. Now, this brave, stuffed rabbit with the heart on his chest is finally springing to life and into the world.

Will Joe Bunny find his child Morgan?
