Bunster, An Easter Story by Christine Hwang Panzer Book Tour, Guest Post & Giveaway! {Ends 4/22/22}

Review By LAWonder10:

Who doesn’t like Bunnies and Chicks? In this cute story, Bunster extends his friendship to some out of the ordinary.
In this very well made cardboard book for toddlers, has beautiful, simple illustrations created by the author.
It is a book that educators/parents can enjoy with very young children.
The colors are pleasant. The artwork is slightly abstract.
I felt the message of the story was weak.
I offer a Three Stars rating for this book.
​I was gifted this book with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.

Hi friends! This is Christine Panzer, living the dream life in reality!

I want to talk about some of my favorite fictional heroes and villains and why I like them.
Growing up, it was the strong female leads like Allana from Tamora Peirce’s Lioness Rampant series. Being an Asian American, she was like a type of Mulan, but in a medieval fantasy setting and I adored reading the fantasy genre since middle school. Amberdrake, a character from one of Mercedes Lackey’s books also struck me as a very kind-hearted person because of the compassion he showed towards even the most hard-hearted. I admired fictional characters like that with a huge heart and liked to spot it in real life people.

As for villains, I had a hard time not accepting them because I could always find some way to relate with an aspect of them. I would often be crying to myself because I could often put myself in their shoes. I know their stories, so they often are like real life people in some way, and so we should take those as examples to learn from to not be like. Writing a good villain is hard. Some authors go into the completely evil and dark route, while others have backstories that make them somewhat relatable. Others are just plain fun, like Hades from the Disney movie Hercules. Then there are some you just want to dislike, like the witch queen from the “Once Upon a Time” show. But her backstory is still quite relatable as a strong-minded tomboy girl.
Thank you, Lu Ann, for being so wonderful in reviewing my book and allowing me to write a blog post on her page!
