Synopsis: This year Easter is going to have a major glow-up! A joyous celebration of Easter, and the power of community and cooperation, from bestselling children’s author Tanya Hennessy!

‘Twas the night before Easter,
the workshop was busy!
There were baskets to fill
and eggs to make pretty.

There was so much to do
for the big Easter quest.
And the Bunny herself?
She was, honestly, stressed.

When one plucky duck steps up to help out the Easter Bunny, no one expects the outcome to be quite so eggsplosive! Sometimes a catastrophe is just what you need to see the world in a whole new rosy light! Easter has never been this fabulous!

Told in sprightly rhyme by bestselling and much-loved children’s book author, comedian, podcaster and social media sensation Tanya Hennessy, with gorgeous illustrations by Sophie Kent, Pink Easter is a truly joyous celebration of friendship, teamwork and Easter.

The perfect picture book for:
– Toddlers and preschoolers
– Sharing with your kids at Easter
– Parents looking for a chocolate alternative
– Fans of Tanya Hennessy’s warm, inclusive humour

Did you know that the Easter Bunny gets just as stressed as Santa, or that they are good friends? This time, it’s the Easter Bunny’s turn to have a chaotic time getting ready for Easter, and she’s going to need all the help she can get from her friends.

She’s in a tizz, and she has to deliver the eggs soon! And welcome to the time of year when we start seeing Easter books come out in preparation for Easter. What’s a bunny to do when time is running out and things need to be done?

So her bunny friends and duck friend step up to help get the rest of the eggs ready. It should be easy, right? Well…this is where things go wrong. Painting the eggs results in everyone being turned pink! And because of it, Easter is going to be so fabulous, more so than it ever has been before! And even better, it’s going to be pink. Very, very pink. What could be better? It turns what could have been a tragedy into something fun, inclusive and joyful as well.

Much like Pink Santa, Pink Easter takes the traditional Night Before Christmas poem and gives it a new spin. The Easter Bunny is a girl, and part of a fantastic community that comes together to help her get ready for, and to deliver Easter.

 It’s a light, funny book but with an important message about community and helping each other within it. This is a fun book, one with heart and soul, and one that celebrates helping each other, and illustrates how we help each other for younger children.

It could also make a great alternative to chocolate or a fabulous addition to an Easter basket, as something a little bit different, and something that can be treasured and read every year around Easter. It’s a book filled with fun rhymes and a joyous celebration that everyone can enjoy.

This is a fun book, and one that will be treasured for years to come as people find new ways to celebrate and take part in Easter. This is another great modern book taking a new look at what our holidays can be and how they can be different for everyone.
