This is one of my very favorite books (which might come as a surprise considering it's significantly different than my usual taste in books), and I have read it at least three times all the way through.

It's finally that warm time of year when the flowers are beginning to bloom. In honor of that, this seemed like a great time to write a post about my favorite gardening picture books. The books are The Gardener, Miss Rumphius, and A Little More Beautiful. 🙂

Today, while I was flipping through a stack of old Easter books we keep in our attic, I found this wonderful treasure of a story. The Country Bunny, by Du Bose Heyward is one of my very favorite picture books for this time of year.

Hello, hello!

My name is Annabelle, and I'm passionate about revealing the beauty and truth of stories all around us!

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy, think about these things.
Philippians 4:8

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story
-those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.
Psalms 107:2
