The fourth anniversary of the Haitian earthquake is approaching. In January 2010 200,000-300,000 people were killed and almost 1.3 million were displaced.

Recently we had a family cat cross over the rainbow bridge. Ripley was an older cat, had some sudden health issues and died.

As a child I remember getting a book or two that I didn’t want to get. It was boring, too young and intended for the child that they thought I was, instead of the boy that I had become. Battle Bunny takes that premise, turns it on its head and manages to make one of the most enjoyable children’s books that my wife and I have seen this year.
