About Run, Rabbit Easter Surprise
Just in time for Easter, a new bilingual book that follows the adventures of a cute, playful and determined young rabbit.
It is almost Easter and Little Rabbit has lots to do. He is writing a letter to each of his friends, which he will deliver … along with an Easter surprise. It is hard work being the Easter Bunny!
This seventh adorable adventure in a series of bilingual books with simple text offers an accessible introduction to basic reo Māori vocabulary for young readers and their whānau. This one introduces ordinal numbers.
Kimberly Andrews’ soft watercolour illustrations are delightful, capturing the lovely relationship between Rabbit, his mother and his friends. This is a book with themes of determination, individuality, self-belief and exploration.
About the Authors
Norah Wilson hails from Washington, D.C., and after several years teaching in Brussels, Belgium, she moved to Aotearoa in 2011. Norah has been telling stories through her teaching and motherhood for many years, but it wasn’t until her third child was born that she decided to write them down. Norah lives with her Kiwi husband, three kids and a dog, and teaches on Auckland’s North Shore. This is the seventh title in the Oma Rāpeti bilingual series.
Kimberly Andrews is an illustrator and author who grew up in the Canadian Rockies, before working for a while in London. Now living in NZ, Kimberly has won the Russell Clark Award for Illustration with her first book, Puffin the Architect, which was followed by Scholastic’s Ernie and the Magic Kennel, Ming’s Iceberg and the Oma Rāpeti series. Kimberly lives with husband James and two daughters in a tiny house near Wellington, where she illustrates, writes, and runs her business Tumbleweed Tees.
Pānia Papa (Ngāti Korokī-Kahukura and Ngāti Mahuta) is a Māori language champion with a passion for teaching. Her journey as a life-long learner of her native tongue began formally at intermediate school and has led to her becoming a sought-after Māori language consultant, TV presenter, teacher, translator and editor.
