Vickianne Caswell is married and has one daughter, who has an amazing gift with animals (all animals, wild or tame seem to love her). Vickianne was raised an animal lover, in the city and continues to pass that on to her daughter. Vickianne hopes to pass the love and joy of animals to other children through these books. She has been doing writing at home since she was a teenager, after her father got her interested in writing when he published a poem. She has done a few articles for a small paper on animal care and continues to experience the joys of pet ownership on an acreage where the family lives. As new animals enter their family, new characters may appear, so stay tuned!
The author's daughter always loves it when she makes up stories, especially when it includes their pets. She had been wanting to write about Freckles, her favorite rabbit & her "baby" before her daughter. As the years passed, her daughter started going to school, encountering bullies, their lives changed and the original Freckles passed away, she wanted more than ever to put something on paper to remember Freckles by and for others to be able to enjoy her as much as their family did. She thought of all the experiences her daughter, their family had been through and all of the mischief Freckles caused, so it seemed natural to write them down for children to learn from them, in a way they would find entertaining.

Freckles and the Less Fortunate (Freckles the Bunny Series) (Volume 2) is written by Vickianne Caswell. This book is a children's book about animals. The design and layout of the book enables a child to follow along with the story using the beautifully colored and vibrant illustrations. The plot is a powerful story that is both educational and inspirational, providing a life lesson of giving to those who are less fortunate.
The book conveys a heart warming message of a young girl bunny who learns how to not be so selfish and that giving to those who are less fortunate can be just as fulfilling as getting new things, when a new student enters her school and doesn't have all the special things the other students take for granted.
Vickianne Caswell did a superb job on her book Freckles and the Less Fortunate. I enjoyed reading this book. At the end of the story the author provides a behind-the-story section, a fun facts section, and an activity. I loved that the book told more about the characters. Most young readers want to know about the characters in the stories they are reading. The fun facts section makes the story more creative and entertaining. The activity allows for a themes art project after a story session, a great addition to a child's day. This book, with its life lesson, review section and activity is a great book for all parents and teachers to read, use, and enjoy.
