A charming reminder for kids that even the worst things don't last forever.
"Unlike many picture books that seek to comfort young audiences by assuring them that their apprehensions are unfounded, Donnini’s quiet prose shows readers that worry is a feeling as valid as any other . . . the world is an increasingly worrisome place, and books like this one, that offer simple acknowledgement of this fact, are just as essential as those that offer elaborate escape. Timely assurance of the impermanence of life’s difficulties." ―Kirkus Reviews

Spirit Bunnies by @jdonninibooks published by @mascotbooks is a story that teaches us important life lessons like empathy, forgiveness & kindness. 🐱🐰
.
Once there was a farm cat who hunted bunnies. The bunnies would then chant to put a spell on the cat. But all the cat really wants is farmer’s love & attention. 🐰🐱
.
The story is creative & unique. The cat & the bunnies learn to make peace & become friends, portraying that you can look past your differences & see the world from a different angle. I like how the rhymes tell the story & that the animals were able to get along. We are all unique, it makes us beautiful in our own way! Interesting book to explore with your little ones!🐱🐰

Spirit Bunnies from @jdonninibooks
Reading this book, I did think it could be a little up setting and scary for younger children but @jdonninibooksdid point out to me that this book is for the older children ages 8- 10 years, grades 2-4 and I agree.
But I did enjoy reading it, I haven’t read it to Miss 6 as I think she would think it’s a little scary.. it’s about a farm cat really just doing his job.. the cat chases, hurts, kills the rabbits because that is the nature of a cat, to hunt and kill on the farm but the rabbits on the farm have had enough and they curse the cat, every time he hurts one or gets a bunny he would turn a bit more hideous and gross. Until one day the cat is lonely and wants to be loved and wonders how to fix this, so off the cat sets to see the bunnies to apologize to them and make friends, and he will stop, so the bunnies lift the curse for the cat and it turns back into a good looking loved cat by all once the bunnies ended the curse, so the cat was happy once again.
