Hare lived in a quiet corner.But there was still noise... This is the story of Hare, who struggles to find quiet even in peaceful places. Hare goes on a journey to try and find a solution. This gentle, heartwarming story is for anybody who suffers from noises, anxiety or loud feelings.
NZ Book Awards wrote "Laura Shallcrass has crafted a beautiful book, full of incredible illustration spreads that are highlighted through the sparse texts, and ever-changing views, from Hare’s full face to a star-speckled sky that spells out a message for us all. Browns and blues create Hare’s earthy environment, and Ruru is coloured a delicious dark that melts into the night-time background. Hare & Ruru: A Quiet Moment is a book with a relevant, modern message, which takes us up high into its branches yet keeps us safe and warm in Hare’s burrow. It delivers a beautiful world and message."
