ReplyDeleteA genre change! This time it’s an educational piece on rabbits by Zeesha! While rabbits are not my favorite (as seen in my star review), I feel like I truly learned something about them today. Rabbit as food could have been a great way to extend this or a part 2 too! Of course I enjoy her creative pieces more and look forward to more of them in the future
