Media Reviews
This is a truly beautiful book that we have completely fallen in love with. The illustrations are as adorable as the story. * The Ladybird Adventures *
Ruby herself is a delightful protagonist. 'An aware hare' who lives consciously from day to day, enjoying everything about her simple routine, from the veg patch to her dumpling of a cuddly grandmother. This book is so beautifully observed and elegantly written; poetic and wise. * Life As It Is *
