Synopsis

I wrote and illustrated the Douglas the Rabbit Adventure Series Books, for children ages 3-10, in memory of my father, Donald Walker Perkins. The first book, The Original Douglas the Rabbit Story, introduces Douglas and his adventurous spirit. The second book, Douglas the Rabbit Makes Some Friends, goes back to the previous spring to describe how Douglas befriends a skunk, a fox, a chipmunk, and others as they work together to help a bird find a missing egg. The third book, Douglas the Rabbit's Fall Field Trip, takes Douglas and Sammy the Skunk on another outing to Farmer Brown's farm, where they enjoy fall treats and narrowly escape raspberry pickers and Buster the Dog. In the last book, Douglas the Rabbit's Winter Holiday Surprise, Douglas invites all his friends to a special winter gathering to celebrate the friendship they share. Each story highlights nature's beauty and seasonal change, and concludes with fun facts to help answer questions that may arise. Douglas the Rabbit is a character that my dad created for me when I was a girl. The first story stays true to the curiosity, anticipation, and humor he stirred in me way back then. The three sequels reflect my own everyday adventures with my kids and pets. Enjoy!

About the Author

Before kids, I had a busy professional life as a lawyer, teacher, and caseworker. When we had our first child and moved overseas to Prague, I put that career on hold. Story telling provided me a great outlet during my time as an at-home mom and as a caregiver for my mom during her later years (see, Living Is for Living: A Caregiver's Story). In sharing Douglas the Rabbit with the world outside our home, I hope to spread the magic my dad created for me, way back when.
