Simple.

This very short and simple tale tells the story of a young rabbit who decides one day that he wished to be Indian (Native American). What follows isn't a story of what actually happens, but about what the bunny imagines will take place when he become an Indian Bunny. Despite what some would consider a politically incorect titile, INDIAN BUNNY is a sweet story that young chilren enjoy and instills in them a small amount of respect for cultures other than their own.

Great Intro for Young Children to Ancient & Sacred Ways

A very pro-native American (and pro-Pagan) introduction for the very young. A terrific early exposure that will instill positive images of alternative religions and lifestyles.

A magical first story

This was my first and favorite book in the world! It is a simply written and illustrated tale of a bunny who decides, one day, that he wishes to be an Indian. His story unfolds accordingly, along the banks of streams, and in fields and trees where he meets and befriends sacred animals and practices the ancient ways. The beauty of the story is its simplicity and profound sense of respect and mystery. It is a gentle spiritual quest suitable for even the youngest children or early readers. I still love it!
