Who doesn’t love dogs, and cats, and bunnies?
Animal Friends employees and volunteers do an
extraordinary job of caring for furry friends in need, as I have seen
firsthand. I visit Animal Friends on a
regular basis, recycling my newspapers, cardboard egg cartons, towels, and
blankets (and they always need more- plus pet food donations!) I was very
fortunate to “book” a book reading and signing for my new children’s book “Grady
Gets Glasses” at Animal Friends- with new children friends and all of the bunny
friends! What an exciting
afternoon!
The volunteers brought all of the bunnies into the
room- with pens set up around them to keep them safe. I read “Grady Gets Glasses” to the kids-
while wearing bunny ears, of course! The
kids were very responsive to the rhymes and the rabbits- so, of course, I had
to hand out Grady stickers! And then,
all of us went inside the penned areas to pet the bunnies!
What a fun afternoon! The Animal Friends employees and volunteers
kept a watchful eye on the small children, educating them about the care and
petting of bunnies. It was so
sweet! And the children truly enjoyed
the book reading and their new (pretend) rabbit friend Grady, and their new real
rabbit friends at the shelter.
Please invite us back for another reading! Grady and I had a wonderful
time!
“Grady Gets Glasses” coloring books are also
available, and a new toy Grady is coming soon!
