Happy Easter

Spring, Spring, Spring ..................many stories to highlight this holiday!  Whether you are into crafty things, the religious connections or just some great, fun wonderfully illustrated stories, an opportunity to read and spend time with your young sweeties!
Patricia Palacco's story about Rechenka's  Eggs tells about the tradition of beautifully painted eggs and the gift of friendship.  We'll highlight other stories from this wonderful author in future posts.









Jan Brett, too, of course has a great story as well. "Spring is everywhere in gorgeous illustrations framed with pussy willows, flowering vines and flowers. Side borders feature busy rabbits making their unusual eggs and, in a border above, the Robin’s family drama unfolds."  Check out the video.

An of course, there is The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes by Dubose Heyward, Marjorie Flack (Illustrator).  The quintessential Easter book  The Country Bunny and the Little Golden Shoes, first published in 1939 and is a true classic.
