As autumn hinted at the arrival of winter, all the animals started preparing for the upcoming snow and cold. Hunnie Bunny was busy making her home as cozy as possible while Mr. Squirrel fretted over the meager food he had collected. Mr. Frog, on the other hand, settled down for his hibernation. When Hunnie comes across a broken crate of fruits during one of her forays, she realizes that it could solve all their uncertainty over stored food. Will she manage to take home the bounty? Will she be able to help her friends before it is too late? Find out in Hunnie Bunny’s Special Gift, a children’s book written by Deborah Carter Martin and illustrated by Sandamali Kamalchandra.
The story, simple yet poignant, teaches us about friendship. The central theme involves checking in with friends and helping each other during difficult times. Sweet-natured Hunnie Bunny’s selfless acts show us the importance of sharing with friends and neighbors. Her tricks with the food crate also highlight her resourcefulness. Apart from the moral lessons, Martin references fascinating tidbits about the winter behavior of animals, including food collection and hibernation. This book will motivate young readers to learn more about these facts. Kamalchandra’s beautiful illustrations demand special mention as they perfectly complement the story. The vibrant colors evoke the warm, cozy feel of autumn. I could not get over the cuteness of Hunnie Bunny, Mr. Squirrel, and Mr. Frog exuded. I recommend Hunnie Bunny’s Special Gift by Deborah Carter Martin to children aged 2-7 years.
