The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes

*****
Set in a country populated by rabbits, the main character is herself a rabbit with 21 children. It would seem her future is restricted by her responsibilities as a parent. However, this is an unusual bunny. She is wise, patient, brave, and -- a very fast runner.
When one of five Easter bunnies becomes too old to run fast, a wise, grandfatherly bunny holds on open competition to choose a replacement. So Mama Bunny takes her clutch of children to see the competition. As you may guess she is an unexpected contestant and winner.
The climax of the story comes on Easter Sunday, as you would expect. Not to give the story a way, she overcomes several challenges and proves her bravery. Our daughters Caitlin and Hallie have read this story every Easter Eve since -- well. A long, long time ago.
This year Caitlin is spending Easter in Sweden. So we made a short video of this year's Easter at home.
Here is another short video of Easter
