The Spring Rabbit – An Easter Tale by Angela McAllister

At the end of winter, a girl named Spring awakes from her slumber in the snow.

She travels through the forest and finds a little bird that has fallen from a tree.

The bird is so cold and weak that Spring can hardly hear its heartbeat, so she turns it into a rabbit with thick, soft fur so it will be warm.

To show their gratitude, birds gather eggs which Rabbit collects in a beautiful basket. Spring tells Rabbit to give them to the childrenso that they will know Spring is here.
