Audrey Bunny:  Children's picture book review and GIVEAWAY

10/30/2013

    Many of you read The Velveteen Rabbit as a child.  It may have even been a favorite book of yours as you grew up and appreciated the message even more.

    I'd like to introduce you to a very darling new book called Audrey Bunny.  While it has a few similarities to The Velveteen Rabbit, it's also quite different.  See below to enter the giveaway I'm holding for a brand new copy of Audrey Bunny!

    I've met so many children over the last 25 years (including my five years of teaching in a public school) who struggle with feeling inept, unloved, and often bullied.  They are insecure, live with constant feelings of awkwardness and rejection, and just don't fit in well in their classrooms and other social situations.

    One of the blessings of homeschooling my children is that they haven't grown up constantly being mocked or bullied for their faith, their personality quirks (don't we all have some???!!!), or their appearance.  In fact, I've noticed that many homeschooled youth in my area just have such wonderful, blossoming personalities that they aren't afraid to show the world, all because they aren't constantly being battered down by their cruel peers.

    I won't say my girls have been too sheltered, though.  They've dealt with favoritism at church, because they don't attend a public or private school.  They love to learn and aren't afraid to show it, so sometimes they are teased or ignored because of that.

    Audrey Bunny was written to show children the incredible value they have!  They are so loved by God!  I love the message of this new book, and I know you will, too.  Audrey Bunny is a perfect book for youngsters to begin learning about their value with God, and the value of all other human beings, no matter how imperfect or different.

    You've got to watch this book trailer.  The illustrations are so darling!

About Audrey Bunny


    Also included: The Parent Connection (last page of the book) shares discussion questions and activities reinforcing God's love for us.


About the author:  Angie Smith

    Angie Smith is the wife of Todd Smith (lead singer of Dove Award winning group Selah), best-selling author of Mended, I Will Carry You, and What Women Fear, and one of the most popular speakers and blog writers in the country. She holds a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology from Vanderbilt University and lives with her husband and daughters in Nashville, TN.

I don't remember if I read The Velveteen Rabbit as a child, but I know I read it as a young mom to my first set of little ones. It has an okay message, that our importance (or real-ness) comes from being loved. But I don't know that it's a life-changing or thoroughly valid theological belief. I would be interested to see how Audrey Bunny handles it and what different message it conveys.

I don't remember reading the book as a child, but it has become a favorite read-aloud now that I have children. As a child I always had an inferiority complex, and becoming a christian...finding out how much I was loved by God, made me feel "whole" (real!) I try to relay that to my children when I read the Velveteen Rabbit to them...even if maybe that was not its intended moral!

We loved Velveteen Rabbit when we were little. My mother even made us each a stuffed Velveteen.... that I still have. I do not remember getting any valuable lesson out of it, other than it made me sad.

How fun! I was on your blog getting the recipe you posted in May for the apple crisp (E) and I noticed Audrey Bunny in your side bar. My daughter is Breezy - the illustrator of Audrey Bunny! We homeschooled, too. Thanks for hosting the give-away and sweet review. And thank you for the recipe, I made it for our guest tonight. :)

Yes, we had that story on tape, and listened to it a lot growing up. I loved the real horse in the nursery! If it impacted how I view others it was definitely subconscious....
