A lovely story about a young bunny named Cottontail who dreams of becoming one of the Easter Bunnies when she's grown. Instead, she becomes a mother to 21 young bunnies. She raises them well, and this convinces the Grandfather Bunny that she is worthy of becoming an Easter Bunny. As an Easter Bunny, she attempt to deliver an egg to farthest, hardest location and injures herself in the process. Grandfather Bunny gifts her golden shoes travel far with one single jump. She returns to her own little bunnies and hangs the golden shoes in a place of honor.

I really enjoyed reading this book. As the book says on the back cover, it is very ahead of its time in terms of feminism and women empowerment. It also encourages others to never give up even when others are doubting you. ( )

A (single) mother rabbit with 21 little children teaches them to all work together and help. The little bunnies feel valued as they contribute to the family. They grow up to be sweet, cheerful, and polite. Thereby, the Country Bunny (mother rabbit) proves herself to Grandfather Bunny and becomes one of the Easter Bunnies. This is a wonderful story with quite modern themes and may help enlist the help of the little rabbits at your house. ( )
