..................
This is the story of Hare, who struggles with an un-named mental malady self described as ‘noise’. Noise could be runaway thoughts, voices in Hare’s head, or loud feelings and general anxiety. Hare goes on a journey to try and find a solution. Just when Hare thinks there’s no hope a friend, Ruru, flies calmly down and gives a suggestion.
Hare ultimately feels better after doing three things:
• Talking to someone
• Focusing on breathing
• Connecting to nature
This gentle story is for anybody who suffers from noises, anxiety or loud feelings

Awesome story, wish I'd noticed though the corners are like it was dropped. But, kindergarten tamariki loved hearing. Thanks

Hare and Ruru
Exquisite book. Such detailed quiet drawings. Sending it to Sweden to my two grand daughters.
