Purpose of this Blog...

You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

A fun book by Jan Brett...Which bunny can make the most beautiful egg for the Easter Rabbit?

If a little bunny named "Hoppi" can make the best Easter egg, he will get to help the Easter Rabbit deliver the eggs on Easter morning. But it is not so easy. 

Discouraged, he goes into the woods to think when a blue robin’s egg tumbles out of its nest.  What happens in the end may surprise you!



Listen and watch as Jan Brett talks about the making of her book, The Easter Egg...

Somebunny's Having an Easter Egg Hunt...


The Easter Bunny came by today 
and left surprises along his way. 
Colorful eggs are all around. 
With baskets in hand we search the ground. 
Hiding in places here and there --
Easter Eggs are everywhere!

Celebrating an Easter Blog Party Parade with Audrey Eclectic today, and wishing all my friends who are on the Western Calendar a Happy Easter.  

As an Eastern Orthodox Christian, I'm barely at the beginning of Lent; and my Palm Sunday and Holy Week are yet to come.

I will be celebrating Orthodox Easter (Pascha) on May 5, amidst exclamations of "Christ is Risen!", with decorated candles, red eggs, and kulich for our Pascha basket.
