Introducing Diann Floyd Boehm
Where did the idea for the story come from?
Boomer is a combination of seeing a friend’s small picture of a tiny bunny in the forest, and I thought there was a story there. Then, a year later, I was playing outside with my grandson, having fun with our imagination, and by the time we were finished, I knew what the story would be. My grandson helped me name the bunny.
Give a quote from the books, one that says little but speaks volumes.
“Boomer, the curious bunny, went down the path to see what he could see.”
Give a short summary of what the book is about.
