Happy Motherโ€™s Day from all of us at Bexley Public Library ๐ŸŒผ

This illustration depicts Mrs. Josephine Rabbit, the mother of Peter Rabbit and his sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-Tail, as imagined by Beatrix Potter. Mrs. Rabbit appears in The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was first officially published in 1902 by Frederick Warne & Co., following a small privately printed black-and-white edition released by Potter in December 1901.
