Hello! This MAP was a collaborative effort between @Birdisjell and I. She designed all the beautiful characters. I crafted the storyboard, and together a team of fabulous animators brought this vision to life!

As my friends and I were reading Watership Down in our book club, we knew we wanted to transform our impressions from the book into a visual dedication to the novel, and Waist-High Water was born. The Fleet Foxes song has always reminded me of the southern California coast, specifically the mountains of chaparral, so I transported our rabbits here. Follow them as they journey to Watership Down.
