Little Tales of an Artist, a Basket, and Two Naughty Bunnies

The second of Beatrix Potter's Little Tales: The Tale of Benjamin Bunny.

We go deeper into Potter's world of mischievous rabbits and their fascination with Mr. McGregor's garden. We explore the importance of fun and whimsy in helping children to learn life lessons in the stories we tell.

Learn more about Beatrix Potter, the artist.

She is a talented water colourist inspired by her love for the world around her.

Interested in seeing her artwork for yourself? I talk about websites where you can go see! Also, I have plans for a special stop if I ever get to visit the UK.
