![]() Q: What do you think the biggest theme is in the new book, and what do you hope readers take from the story?Ī very young reader will probably focus on the reassurance of a cozy family. (The companion book about the Rabbit family, Taking Care of Mama Rabbit, is about giving and nurturing and that little book really ends in a theatrical performance.) Rabbits in costume become a theatre event. I could have made the family a people family. To the hunger add waiting for something good, the family that will help to take your hunger pains away and you have a social event ending in a cozy meal. The urgency to move the story forward is driven by the hunger. The activity of gathering and accumulating the vegetables makes sense when you are dealing with numbers. Why not put together a very simple but layered little book about color and fence it in with numbers from one to ten. Plant based eating is encouraged every day for both adults and children. And, I thought: How about putting this doodling to use. I had been painting realistic watercolors of vegetables in a leather-bound book of fine paper. ![]() Q: How did the idea for 10 Hungry Rabbits come about? ![]()
