As a little girl I was given the gift of a big blue book of Disney tales. I loved that book! In fact, I still have it.
Among the more popular Disney stories was the story of Grandpa Bunny Bunny. This is a lesser known story, originally published in 1951, about Grandpa Bunny Bunny teaching the younger bunnies how to “decorate” nature with stunning colours. This patriarch realises he about to “go away” as the story phrases it and prepares a special surprise – a sunset.
Now, forty years on, every time I see a beautiful sunset or the occasional sunrise, I still think “Grandpa Bunny Bunny did a good job on that one.”
Here’s a few he’s created over the past few months.
note- none of these photos have been touched up in any way. It’s all nature’s colours…or Grandpa Bunny Bunny’s artwork

When growing up, whenever there was a beautiful sunset, our family always said that Grandpa Bunny Bunny had been at work. I’ve been able to find some copies sold in grocery stores around Easter & I give them to people I know who have young children hoping to pass on my family saying as I never had children so I never got to introduce it to children of my own. Sadly, I just asked one of the people who I sent the book to for his kids & asked him if he remembered Grandpa Bunny Bunny, as I had included a note with the book telling him it was a tradition I wanted to pass on. It broke my heart a little, but this post helped because now I see other people have the same sweet thought my parents, brother & I all think when we see a beautiful sunset. It makes me feel such a connection that I felt was lost when my friend didn’t even remember the book I sent his kids. Thank you.
