Middle Grade, ages 8-12- Easter Story- The Girl Behind the Magic

New Cover! (May 2023)

Treasured for generations, this classic and beloved children’s story is reworked with native fairies, scary zombies, and transforming magic. The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams (1922) is seamlessly retold by A.R. Jung in this enchanting tale about blossoming self-esteem. A toy rabbit comes to life through the love of a child. In addition to her stylistic adaptations, Jung’s storyline loosely follows the animated film The First Easter Rabbit (1976) narrated by Burl Ives, which explains the Easter Bunny’s origin. This is the story of the Easter Bunny’s childhood.

“Nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old, wise, and experienced like the Unicorn Rocking Horse understand all about it.”

– The Velveteen Rabbit

Like the Unicorn, Jung understands how toys and people become real through the wisdom and experience of both giving and receiving love. A modern classic was written to inspire even the most reluctant readers- both boys and girls alike!
