Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

Bestselling author Anthony DeStefano sits down with me to reveal the heartwarming narrative of "The Story of the First Easter Bunny." Our conversation delves into the delicate balance of incorporating secular symbols like the Easter Bunny into the Christian celebration of Easter. It's an episode that promises to offer parents and grandparents alike a new way to share profound religious truths through the charm of children's literature.

Why I wrote "The Story of the First Easter Bunny"
 by Anthony DeStefano
"At a time when the profound significance of Easter is often overshadowed by commercialism, I wanted to write a book that imparts the true meaning of this most holy of Christian holidays to children. I came up with The Story of the First Easter Bunny— a tale of a pint-size bunny with enormous ears who lives during Biblical times. The bunny lives with his sick mother, and when he hears about Jesus, he goes on a selfless search to listen to His words. After he witnesses the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection, he and his mother experience a life-changing miracle, and the bunny goes on to spread the message of salvation to all who will listen. 

I wrote this book— illustrated by NY Times bestselling artist Richard Cowdrey— as a way to “adopt” the Easter Bunny as a symbol of hope in the Risen Lord, of the transformative power of faith, and of the reality of Heaven. I’m hoping that it will offer readers an inspiring alternative to our culture’s obsession with chocolate treats, dyed eggs, and cartoon characters of little substance. Most importantly, I hope the bunny's example of faithful attentiveness to the Word of God serves as a reminder to readers — both young and young at heart — that God’s love is ever present and that when we trust Him with the confidence of a child, we can find redemption, fulfillment, and lasting joy."
