Synopsis: The Cute Bouncy Bunny is a children's book that was inspired by enjoying nature and watching bunnies play in the grass. The story was originally a poem written for my younger brothers and sisters on April 9, 2003. I dedicate this book to my adorable nieces and nephews. "The earliest incarnation of this book was way back in 2003, when I came home after walking with my younger sister, and she asked me to write something about the bunnies we had seen playing in the grass on our land. I penned a poem and illustration, but didn't really think anything of it," explains the author. "When unpacking boxes in my new home in Dallas last year I came across those documents as well as my notes. I suppose the rest is history!" Continuing, "The story has a very bold theme โ which is to inspire children to both explore and appreciate the wonderful nature that surrounds them. Because I wrote the original story as a young teen, I also hope it pushes children to embrace their creativity and even possibly explore future careers in writing and art. I really saw the impact of stories after reading to children in orphanages I visited while traveling. Now having a young niece who has a rare genetic disorder, empowering her to embrace learning and nature is more important than ever. "I am dedicated to encouraging children's curiosity about the world around them and nurturing their imagination by writing stories that give them the adventures they crave."
