Happy Easter

°☆  ★ ° ★ ●  *
This Easter I am remembering my favorite childhood book about Easter. It was called, "The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes." If you haven't read it, or know a child who hasn't, you might like to. It is a very simple book with lovely illustrations that haven't been altered to be more "modern" (Winnie the Pooh was. In fact, I once gave a reading to a young German man who told me he was hired by Disney to recreate the drawings).

I was enthralled by 'The Country Bunny' when I was a small child. It touched me deeply and left me filled with the wonder and awe of what can happen when our heart is in the right place and we live in the present moment, without despairing over what we do not have. It is magical and spiritual. The Country Bunny lives a clear and simple life and still one day gets to wear the golden shoes she has always been seeking!

"The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes” was published in 1939 by Du Bose Heyward, most famous for “Porgy and Bess," and illustrated by Marjorie Flack, whom you might know from “The Story About Ping.”
