A beautiful and bright book to welcome spring. A non-religious Easter book with gorgeous illustrations and a message of sharing. This will be on my spring kids display!

This book is full of sunshine and happiness. Its radiant colours and vivid style make this a perfect Easter picture book. The different bird illustrations are absolutely brilliant.

Holy gorgeousness! Stunning, captivating, timely; I love this book and I would love to add this to our springtime story collection, it truly is beautiful. If you are looking for a non-religious book for spring or a tale of the Easter bunny that doesn't speak from a Christian standpoint, I would say this is a great option. The quirky, colorful illustrations held my attention from the first page. Just lovely!

This book was adorable! I loved the illustrations and the story of how the Easter Bunny came to be was cute. Loved the idea of Spring waking up and turning the grass green as she walked over the ground!

Love this children's story. Its not often that you find spring/Easter books that are secular. As a secular homeschooling family I am always pleased to find great picture books to add into my lessons. The imagery and illustrations are well done. The story is a simple explanation and will resonate with children about welcoming spring.

This beautifully illustrated picture book will be of interest to those young children who celebrate Easter. It tells a tale about how the practice of leaving Easter eggs came about.

In this story, Spring is brought to life as a woman. She brings spring every where that she goes. This leads the illustrations in this book to become increasingly colorful.

Watch as she rescues a bird and find out what happens next. It will lead to the origin of the Easter Egg.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children’s for the ARC of this.

We loved the A “blank” of stories collections by this author, so I was excited to read this. I really want to introduce my kids to folktales and myths beyond the Christian myths they are currently exposed to by family. This was an adorable origin story to the Easter bunny, and I loved how colorful the illustrations were. The illustrations themselves weren’t my favorite, but my 5 year old had no complaints and enjoyed the story.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a bright and cheerful spring book!

First off, this book is stunningly illustrated. The cover was what first sucked me in when I saw this on NetGalley, and I was hopeful that the illustrations would be as beautiful inside as outside. I was not disappointed!! Christopher Corr's illustrations pair wonderfully with Angela McAllister's text. And, as someone who was raised religious but it not religious, I was very appreciative of how McAllister approached a usually religious holiday (Easter and the Easter Bunny) and brought it back to its' non-religious roots. Spring saves a bird that has fallen from the trees by turning it into a bunny. In exchange, the other birds help the new bunny repay Spring for her generosity by giving her a basket of eggs, which she asks them to share with the children of a nearby town to show that them spring is coming.

5 out of 5 starts from me, and a "very very pretty" from my tiny reviewer. I would gladly add a physical copy of this book to my personal library!

A fun telling of the Easter Bunny and its relationships with Spring, eggs, and the Easter basket, filled with colorful and imaginative illustrations.
