About the Book
I was inspired to write this book when I read a letter in the Arizona Republic Newspaper from a frustrated mother who had kids that were more excited about the Easter Bunny bringing them candy than they were into listening to her about the real meaning of Easter, Jesus' resurrection. I thought that it would be interesting to write a childrens book that showed the Easter Bunny as being a messenger of Jesus to point to Him as our Savior and not just a fun way to get candy. From that and in chatting with my grandchildren Bailey and Brock, the ideas just fell into place. The childlike part of the bunny came from the fun antics of my precious grandson Brock who at the time of the inspiration was 3.
About the Author
I fell in love with storytelling when I was young and my grandmother Eva told me stories not just read books to me. In high school, I was in a program where I read books and then had to recreate the story from memory to tell to children. I have been reading to my children, nieces and nephews for years. We would often make up stories as we went just to see where we could take them. I have since been creating stories with my grandkids and for them. We really enjoy that part of our relationship. I live in Scottsdale, AZ and am married, have 3 grown sons, 2 daughter in-laws and 5 grandchildren.
