Audrey Bunny: Children's picture book review and GIVEAWAY

This page may contain affiliate links.

    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!
