In Loukoumi In The Basket by Nick Katsoris, Loukoumi is disappointed in her Easter basket each year because she wants a lamb in her basket instead of an Easter Bunny. As the adventure progresses Loukoumi visits a magical wonderland of sweets with a candy river, hills made of marshmallow chicks and jelly bean petaled flowers in every color. Loukoumi then meets the Easter Bunny, who is contemplating skipping his Easter journey this year. In the end Loukoumi saves the day by helping the Easter Bunny and learns that Easter is about more than just what she receives in her Easter basket.

Entertainment Tonight's Nancy O'Dell, who previously participated in the 2011 release, Loukoumi's Celebrity Cookbook, lends her wonderful voice to the project as narrator of the e-book and the download that comes with the hardcover book. Past narrators of the Loukoumi books include Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman, Nia Vardalos, Gloria Gaynor and Olympia Dukakis, among others.
