Im Rootin for Ya! is the story of how a curious little rabbit helped a boy cope with the death of his father. The book was written to provide comfort to children who have lost a parent. Although no one can ever replace a parent or any loved one, the purpose of the book is to help children understand death and how to cope with it. The author picked a rabbit as the coping mechanism in the book since the authors father loved rabbits, and the authors last name means rabbit in the Czech language.
