Audrey Bunny by Angie Smith and Illustrated by Breezy Brookshire (Review & Giveaway)

Hardcover w/Dust Jacket - $14.99
ISBN:  9781433680458
B&H Publishing Group
From the cover to the very end, this beautiful book will enchant. The artistry is compelling, soft, delicate, warm, and happy. Just right for a children's picture story book. Illustrator Breezy Brookshire has truly captured the essence of author Angie Smith's delightful tale of a little girl and a bunny.

In a shop there is a barrel of stuffed toys ready to be purchased by children and adults. One is a bunny that is constantly being bypassed for the other toys. You see, bunny is flawed. He has a spot on his chest. But bunny's hope is that someone will want to love him anyway.

There is a delightful little girl and she and her mommy go shopping in the shop. The little girl looked right at bunny and even said something to her mommy, but they left. Bunny thinks it is because he has a spot on his chest. But another day, Caroline (the little girl) and her mommy return and Caroline picks bunny up by the ears and says, "I want this one." She also names the bunny, Audrey. Love began to grow in bunny for Caroline and Caroline began to love bunny. And the story continues sweetly on.

What is so delightful about the book is that it helps children see and realize that each of us is different in some way - each has some type of flaw - and each can be loved just as we are. God has made us all different. 

"I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." Psalm 139:14

  1. I think that Read to Me Bible for Kids and The Big Picture Interactive Bible Storybook would appeal to my son.

  3. From the facebook page, I clicked on the link to Bowards Buzz where he talks about himself. The book is about Howard the 7th grader and as part of the promo for the book, there are some funny bookmarks that were created and they can be seen on the page.

  4. Hey God, I am having an awful vacation thanks to Moses where the frog tells her side of the story sounds like a funny book. And as a more practical book, I also like the Read to Me Bible for Kids

  6. Fun to see kids doing artwork, rather than something electronic!
