Remember the smile that came across your face when you read about Marylin Mansdorf and her bunnies? Her uplifting story of the generations of wild cottontails that have been visiting her for seven years is heartwarming. But there is more to her story.

She is running out of money to maintain the little sanctuary that she, her home, and her garden have become for the wild cottontails. Beyond her own joy with the bunnies, she truly wants to spread the message of the joy of human contact with wildness through one book already published and four other books waiting for enough money to publish them. Upon seeing some of her hundreds of photos, one biology professor confirmed that they are totally unique because they clearly show not just bunnies playing, but true interspecies communications.

Marylin, like Jane Goodall, has an intuitive gift to relate to wildness. If it were only love and commitment, she has more than enough, but Marylin needs sponsors, grants, and investors to make Bunny Books Inc. well-known.

Contact Marylin at marylin@bunnybooksinc.com if you would like to provide some support to her mission, or click Donate to make a Paypal-secure contribution. She and the wild bunnies appreciate your support!
