Liam is a perfect little piglet who dreams of nothing other than being the Easter Bunny. He practices hopping, he tries to enjoy salad, and he tries to deliver eggs. At first his family doesn’t believe in him. His parents try to convince him he is a perfect piglet and doesn’t need to be an Easter Bunny, but Liam remains unmoved in his desire to be the Easter Bunny. His family continues to disbelieve. His neighbors start to talk. And Liam starts to wonder, what if they are right?
Liam sighed. “This is the kind of problem,” he said, “that is called heartbreaking.”
Liam’s grandma decides to help Liam. She helps him order an Easter Bunny suit on the Internet, and when it comes, Liam puts it on. When he looks in the mirror, he doesn’t see the string hanging down in his face or the crooked ear. He doesn’t even feel itchy. Because he sees staring back at him the Easter Bunny. Liam hops. Liam delivers eggs. And everyone believes in him.
This is a fun story about believing in your dreams, even when other people don’t believe in you. Liam has one person who starts to believe in him and offers to help him achieve his dream. The story reminds me how important it is for me as an adult to take children seriously, believe in them, and love them for who they are. What child might I help to achieve his dream of becoming the Easter Bunny?
(Oh, and I also think this book would be great for children!)
