I have a thing about bunnies! My first plush toy was a rabbit named Boing Boing and I had a pet lop-eared bunny named Br’er. The first book I wrote in my series was The Night Before Easter because I wanted to write a story for kids who love bunnies and Easter - like me! When I was a child I also liked to read books by Beatrix Potter and hope to one day visit her house in England.
This is another book about appreciating differences told with in-your-face humor using a case of mistaken identity. When a chipmunk accuses a hare of being a rabbit, the hare stands up for itself. In doing so, hare describes the traits of a hare versus a jackrabbit. It’s a simple way to show kids the difference between animals that seem alike but are not. Like a turtle and a tortoise. Turns out chipmunk is not who hare thinks he is! A fun way to learn about desert creatures.
An exasperated hare and plucky squirrel engage in a battle of wits to determine who's who in this hilarious author-illustrator debut for fans of I Yam a Donkey and Grumpy Monkey.

Or a sheep and goat? So have Rabbit and Chipmunk-er, I mean, Hare and Squirrel! This hilarious look at dynamic duos in the animal kingdom pokes fun at the lookalike animals we all…
This is a sweet story about Little Nutbrown Hare telling Big Nutbrown Hare how much he loves him. It makes for a friendly father-son competition where one tries to out love the other. I can see fathers and kids doing the physical things in the book while they read it together such as stretching their arms out wide, reaching high, and jumping up. The competition ends with a kiss and an “I love you right up to the moon and back.” The illustrations are simple and the message is endearing. No wonder this story is a classic!

Easter isn’t all about bunnies, baskets, and bonnets.
