originally published by Scholastic
In honor of Poetry Month, Easter, and all things rabbity, we’ve just e-published TO RABBITOWN, the first picture book I ever had published (by Scholastic). It’s a free-verse fantasy (gorgeously illustrated by Robin Spowart) about a child who runs away to live with rabbits and slowly turns into one. To Rabbittown is available on Kindle and Nook (both for 99 cents)…and I’ll upload it to iTunes for iPads soon–wish me luck! (download the free Kindle for PC if you don’t have an eReader)
A child runs away to live with rabbits…and slowly turns into one.
Written in free verse, with gorgeous watercolor illustrations by Robin Spowart. They really are gorgeous. Someone once told me that it looked like a French picture book.
And…it was MommyCare’s Book of the Year!
