I believe it was Bunny Boy’s healing power that led Nancy to start the first branch of Bunnies in Baskets on the east coast, which brought her and her second bunny, Muffin, to our grief-stricken families in Sandy Hook, Newtown, Connecticut, where, just weeks after the events of December 14, 2012, and for the last five years, even with so many health issues of her own, Nancy and her miraculous rabbit brought love, comfort, and cheer to so many of our children who experienced a tragedy impossible to imagine."—Judy Sims, director of the Children’s Adventure Center, Newtown, Connecticut"A thought-provoking memoir that reminds us to be resilient!"—Milly Velez, president and founder of the Fibromyalgia Care Society of America, Inc."Nancy Laracy's memoir is a deeply moving testament of how one small animal can play an important role in many people’s lives.

Nancy helps us experience this bond, connecting us through smiles and tears, so much so that we are left understanding more to help others."—Sarah Baran, founder, Bunnies in Baskets“The magic of your story must reach all of our readers.
