Two White Rabbits

A dad and his daughter move from one place to another to an unknown destination. They travel on the roof of trains, finding jobs here and there. The girl meets a friend sometimes, but doesn't know where they are going.

The story feels unfinished. The dad and the daughter never talk to each other, which makes the unsettling situation even scarier to the girl. I also don't understand why they accept the two rabbits pets, knowing that they won't have money to feed them, or that by releasing them they will die in the wild. That was an extremely bad narrative choice. If it was meant to be symbolic, I don't get it either.
Overall, it's important to include the theme of immigration/refugees in children's books, but I feel like this one didn't do it well.

P.S.: I really didn't like the epilogue: “What do those of us who have safe comfortable lives owe to people who do not?”
