Mr. Flopsy represents all of the rabbits that have been in Mrs. Cottontail's life over the years.  From when she was a young girl bonding with her first rabbit that her grandfather gave her, to raising rabbits with her own daughters, to her many years of ministry with Mrs. Cottontail and Friends.  She has seen the unconditional love and lessons that can be learned from spending time with rabbits. 

 

Mrs. Cottontail likes to describe this as “Anam Cara.”  In Celtic Christianity, it means “soul friend and teacher,” and that's what the rabbits have been been to her and many others through the years.

 

During the pandemic, when the whole world had to stop and be still, Mrs. Cottontail realized it was time to share this message in a book format.  Being still can sometimes be a challenging task, but when learned through the eyes of a bunny, it can become much easier.  In the bunny world, when a bunny is in a complete state of relaxation, it “flops” over on it's side and is in the most blissful state – hence why we named it Mr. Flopsy!  In this quiet moments, our “Anam Cara” bunny friends, teach us how we can  hear the Whispers from God.

 

We hope Mr. Flopsy can open your hearts and be a soul teacher in your child's life!
