This is the heartwarming true story of the authors own journey with two very special rabbits.In the spring of 2016, Peggotty and Benjamin were saved by Maines Cottontail Cottage Rabbit Rescue after their previous owners had neglected them. But before the two Netherland Dwarf rabbits could be adopted, Cynthia had to help them learn to trust people and feel safe inside a home. The bunnies slowly settled in, enjoying their clean pens, nibbling new foods, and playing with fun toys, while Cindys husband, John Bald, photographed Benjamin and Peggottys every step toward adoption. At that time, hundreds of viewers were drawn to Cindys Facebook page to watch their progress. Now, she has adapted the rabbits true story into a picture book that explores love, responsibility, empathy, and letting go-along with fosterings many surprises, both big and small.Young readers will delight in watching these bunnies thrive while also learning a few fun animal facts. With Cindys pitch-perfect blend of warmth and real-life experience, Borrowing Bunnies is a new classic in narrative nonfiction.
