Every year, the Easter Bunny makes his grand entrance into homes, parks, and storybooks, spreading joy with eggs and sweet treats. But how often do we actually hear from him? Well, that’s about to change.
T.J. Gram’s Face to Face with the Easter Bunny: A T.J. Gram Interview takes a refreshing twist that sets it apart from other Easter Bunny children’s books. Instead of rehashing the same old tale, this book invites kids to chat with the Easter Bunny himself. And he’s not just a bringer of springtime cheer. Meet Elliot, a thoughtful and kind sixth-generation bunny who runs a bustling operation filled with colorful eggs, chocolate creations, and even a tightrope-walking rooster named Rhaymond.
And trust me, it’s every bit as charming as it sounds!
A Wholesome Twist on the Easter Bunny Tradition
The book is structured as a chat with T.J. Gram, who plays the role of interviewer, asking all the questions that curious kids everywhere might have. This setup really helps create a warm bond between the reader and Elliot. Instead of being just a far-off, magical figure who shows up once a year, the Easter Bunny becomes relatable. He’s hardworking, loves the beach, has a big family, and even finds handling tasks difficult.
What’s great about this book is that it doesn’t lean on intense drama or preachy lessons. Its charm comes from its genuine, light-hearted storytelling. Readers discover that Elliot’s family has been in the egg business for generations, starting with just six chickens and a simple idea that blossomed into a cherished tradition. As time passed, their little operation expanded, bringing even more joy to giving.
Meet Elliot: Not Your Average Bunny
What really makes Elliot stand out from other storybook bunnies is his unique personality. He’s shy, detail-oriented, and genuinely sincere. While he prefers to work solo, his love for his family runs deep. He can be a bit awkward in social situations, making his attempts to connect with children even more charming. T.J. Gram’s gentle interview style captures his warm and friendly voice perfectly.
Kids will be thrilled to discover that Elliot’s chickens now lay eggs in vibrant colors, thanks to a special feed created by his great-grandfather. It’s the kind of delightful whimsy that kids adore, rooted just enough in reality to pique their curiosity while still feeling magical. Parents will appreciate the subtle idea that even cherished traditions can change with a little creativity and care.
And let’s not forget Rhaymond, Elliot’s pet rooster. He loves to perch next to Elliot’s workbench and show off for the school groups visiting the farm. While he can’t paint eggs with his beak, he’s mastered the art of tightrope walking and revels in the attention. For kids, he’s a fun, comedic character; for parents, he brings a dash of humor that makes storytime even more enjoyable.
A Story That Sparks Imagination and Conversation
Unlike most holiday books that rely on quick plotlines or silly punchlines, Face to Face with the Easter Bunny: A T.J. Gram Interview creates a world children can linger in. The Q&A structure encourages natural pauses where young readers might ask, “Why do chickens lay colored eggs?” or “How many bunnies can live on one farm?”
This format is perfect for classroom reading, bedtime storytelling, or long weekend afternoons. It’s the kind of book that invites follow-up questions and repeat readings. One child might enjoy the rooster. Another might be fascinated by the story of Elliot’s great-grandmother, who was a chocolatier. Still, another might ask if they can visit a farm like Elliot’s someday.
It’s also one of the few Easter Bunny book for kids that speaks to values like legacy, creativity, and care without spelling them out too loudly.
Building a Bunny Legacy
Elliot’s love for his wife, Eleanor, shines throughout the interview. She’s outgoing, whereas he is shy and practical, whereas he is methodical. She once worked as a nanny for 26 bunny children, and now she runs the bunny adoption program at the family farm. Every bunny gets house-trained before being considered for adoption, and Eleanor’s success rate is 100 percent.
Together, she and Elliot have raised fifteen children of their own. Some are farmers. Some are working with the Tooth Fairy. Some are stay-at-home parents raising kits of their own. It’s a big family full of joy, stories, and traditions. Readers also learn that Elliot’s oldest son invented the chocolate peanut butter egg combination — now one of the most popular treats in Easter baskets.
This family-focused storytelling makes the book feel real. Children aren’t just reading about a bunny with a job. They’re meeting someone who works with love, lives with purpose, and shares joy with others.
A New Kind of Holiday Story
Many Easter books for kids focus on simple rhymes, short attention spans, or quick laughs. This book takes a different path. It’s funny, but not goofy. It’s sweet, but not sugary. It treats children with respect by giving them thoughtful content in an accessible format.
And for all its charm, the book never forgets that it’s part of a larger tradition. Readers discover how the Easter Bunny tradition began on Elliot’s farm generations ago. There’s no magic wand, no fairy tale twist. Just thoughtful work, family creativity, and a willingness to bring joy to others.
Even chocolate making has a history. Elliot’s great-grandmother passed down the techniques, and now Eleanor handles most of the crafting while Elliot decorates eggs. There’s even a peanut butter egg recipe at the end for families who want to join the fun.
It’s more than a book. It’s an invitation to create traditions of your own.
Perfect for Spring Reading
Face to Face with the Easter Bunny: A T.J. Gram Interview is ideal for families looking for a meaningful Easter Bunny book for kids. It offers everything a spring story should: renewal, laughter, curiosity, and kindness. It’s not flashy, and that’s exactly why it works.
Teachers can use the book to spark classroom conversations about storytelling, family heritage, holiday traditions, and animal care. Parents will enjoy the opportunity to read a story that’s engaging for them too. And children? They’ll simply enjoy meeting Elliot and imagining what it’s like to run a farm with 20,000 chickens and 10,000 bunnies.
It also works beautifully as a read-aloud or audiobook. The interview style makes for natural narration, and Elliot’s voice, if performed well, will stay with children long after the story ends.
