Looking for Easter by Dori Chaconas


Looking for Easter by Dori Chaconas is not a new book (2008) but it is new to me so I thought I would share it. This book takes the main idea of "Easter" and combines it to nature, and beautifully in my opinion. Little Bunny is looking for "Easter". Along the way he smells the sweet smells of spring. With each animal he meets, Little Bunny adds to "Easter" that he is carrying. At the end he has a basket with grass and berries. But Little Bunny still wonders what Easter is and gives his basket to Robin who is in need of a a new nest. Weeks pass and finally Little Bunny discovers what "Easter" truly is.
