For
Quiet Bunny, the adorable creation by Lisa McCue, the same is true. Quiet Bunny
loves spring. And, as Easter falls this month, I decided to offer a review of
Quiet Bunny’s Many Colors—a book perfect for spring AND Easter!
QUIET BUNNY’S
MANY COLORS by Lisa McCue
From
yellow to green and from blue to red—Quiet Bunny loves all of the colors of
spring. Yet, poor Quiet Bunny becomes sad when he thinks that his brown and
white fur is not a color of the season that he loves so much.
Quiet
Bunny sets out on a mission to become one-with-spring by adorning himself
with nature’s offerings of the season.
He tries dandelions.
He tries lily pads.
Quiet Bunny even tries a good coating of red clay.
Nothing
works.
Just
about the time that Quiet Bunny is ready to give up a wise owl steps in and
helps Quiet Bunny realize that he is indeed the color of spring!
In Quiet Bunny’s Many Colors, Lisa McCue,
author and illustrator, presents a heartwarming tale of acceptance of oneself.
With vivid splashes of color, McCue’s illustrations will definitely create a
lasting memory of this very important message. Her clever way of transitioning
from one event to the next also provides an opportunity to discuss sequencing
and story plots.
As
an added bonus, McCue tucks little surprises on each brightly colored two page
spread that will encourage children to explore the world around them. Children
will delight in finding each plant and animal that represents the color that
Quiet Bunny is attempting to mimic.Bunnies, nature, bright colors, and acceptance of our many differences—Quiet Bunny’s Many Colors is the perfect way to usher in the season of new beginnings.
