"Basil Bunny," a children’s book co-written by Dr. Misty Rossiter, professor of foods and nutrition at UPEI, and Leah Ellis, a member of the performance group Tunes and Tales, will be launched on April 4 from 10 am to 12 noon at the Charlottetown Learning Library, at 97 Queen Street, Charlottetown.

Suitable for ages two to nine, "Basil Bunny" is a gentle, playful story about curiosity, food exploration, and the joy of discovering favourite foods—perfect for young readers, picky eaters, and families who love stories filled with warmth, humour, and heart. The event will include a book reading with music and crafts and opportunities to engage with the themes of the book through food exploration and sensory fun. Books will be available for sale at the event and also can be purchased on Amazon.
