The Bunny Who Found Easter by Charlotte Zolotow Illustrated by Helen Craig MichellesPicksForYou. The text overcomes any small flaws with its mood, and its appeal to the sensibilities of a tender age. Craig tempers comic scenes with dramatic ones: Exaggerated elements, such as the overabundance of apples on a tree and the improbable number of fawns in a ``family of deer,'' contrast with a thunderstorm. His quest takes him through many experiences and locales, such as a daisy field where ``in all that whiteness of daisies there was no whiteness of bunnies like himself,'' and a snowy stretch where ``his footprints never crossed other bunny footprints.'' The rabbit's melancholy is built up expertly in the text, but slightly offset by the presence in the illustrations of a perky little mouse accompanying the rabbit on his search, which eventually leads to a joyous union with a bunny in a pink print dress. Thinking Easter is a place east of where he is, he sets out to find it, dressed in a vest and looking dapper. He asks help from an owl but is told only that there are always rabbits at Easter. A sleepy bunny wakes alone in the woods, wanting the company of other rabbits. The ache had been more tolerable after Matthew left Promise Glen, but now, not only has he returned, Anna’s father accepts his offer to work on their farm.Īs the preparation for Easter begins, Anna’s regular contact with Matthew introduces her to a man far different than the boy she knew before.A rite of spring is glorified again in a newly illustrated edition of an old-fashioned, childlike book that was first published in 1959. Still, no matter how she tries, Anna can’t let go of the reckless night that ended her brother’s life so soon. Anna’s comfort is quickly dashed, however, when the man Anna deemed responsible for James’s death returns to the Amish community-Matthew King.įorgiveness is at the heart of being Amish, and no one else blames Matthew his grief and pain over losing his dear friend are obvious. Anna knows one day she’ll find someone she can love and marry, but she’s perfectly happy with the life she created. Though she lost her beloved brother in a tragic accident, her family is supportive and close-knit, and her job as a cherished teacher at the Orchard Hill Amish School fills her heart with joy each day. The Promise of Easter by Marta Perry: Anna Stoltzfus lives a quiet but fulfilling life in Promise Glen. The Bunny who Found Easter /by Charlotte Zolotow Illustrated by Helen Craig.
