My children want to find this book that I read to them. The cover was deep blue with the rabbit on the cover, in a snowy nighttime setting. Over the course of the book, the rabbit (as I recall, you are never sure if it’s a he or she) gives away maybe food, definitely shoes, coat, scarf, etc to others in need. Sadly the rabbit freezes to death, but then maybe you see the rabbit in the starry sky? Not an old book, probably written in 80s or 90s. Very simple drawings, cartoon like, not realistic. Anyone remember? Title might have indicated it was a book about giving. Thanks
Was it the story of Barrington Bunny in the book The Way of the Wolf by Martin Bell?
The details are not quite right, but the idea is there.
Read the story here:

Also, a newer book, Snow Bunny’s Christmas Wish, by Rebecca Harry has the same idea but an alternate ending. If you are interested in obtaining a similar book.
