  • Well, to be honest, i didn't even know that there's a book from me to be published. It was just a bedtime story i told my nephews, and then they kept asking about it and finally i wrote it down, sent it to my sister in law, went on to tell the boys other stories and completely forgot about it. My sister in law apparently showed it to an illustrator she knows and that illustrator thought it would make a good book and asked me if i minded her drawing something. I still thought it's never going to be realised, tho.


    And now here it is, in a tiny edition, but i couldn't care less :D


    The book's about Super Easter Bunny who completely messes up his job with the easter eggs and then he has to get them in a hurry, but he doesn't even know where eggs (German: Ei) come from, so he runs to the squirrel (Eichhörnchen) to the polar bear (Eisbär) and unicorn (Einhorn) and several other animals whose names begin with Ei (and they all play their games with him) until finally he finds out that chicks lay eggs.


    He's not the brightest, to be true, but he manages to get all the eggs in time. Couldn't leave my nephews worrying about easter, right?


    Here's the scene where Super Easter Bunny mistakes the horsecrap (there's nothing as interesting to an average 3 or 4 years old as feces) for eggs and is dissed by the unicorn.

  • Congratz to you Lucy


    May your book sell well and require a larger re-print :)

  • Thank you all very much.
    I doubt that i'll make any money at all with this book but i thought i should celebrate anyway and bought that pair of over-the-knees boots for 400 Euros i've been drooling over for the last weeks ;)


    burro: It won't, can't, actually, be translated to English because the book doesn't work in another language.


    Huor: No, i think this story is finished. I wouldn't know how to go on with it. However, if you like to read, here's a similar, but much lighter (and sillier) one: Desmond and Harry

  • grazie
