Bunny Roo goes through different incidences of a baby’s behavior and compares it to an animal that acts similar. The theme is clearly: all babies act a little nuts, but you are my baby who I love so much. On Twitter, Marr shared, “Each of those animals represented a stage of his [her adopted infant son who was suffering form withdrawal symptoms after being born to an addict] withdrawal. It was how I explained things & told him he’d be ok.” This information moves this book to an even deeper emotional level for me. To watch your baby suffer must have been one of the hardest thing Marr had ever encountered. Although the book is based on this specific experience, any mother will connect with Bunny Mom and her baby, and any reader will feel the love radiating from the pages.

In this book, a mama compares all of the things that babies do to different baby animals. The text is accompanied by sweet illustrations that give the book the feel of a classic.

Bunny Roo, I Love You comes really close to being saccharine, but maintains a dignified sweetness to it. I loved the color palate of the illustrations and the simple message.

Adorable in every way. I wish my house were painted in Teagan White illustrations.
