Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

There was once a hare who did NOT like to share. What is the point of sharing? thinks the hare. The more I give away, the less there is for ME.

But even the hare can appreciate the lovingly tended carrot patch created by the neighbouring rabbits. So, when a huge boar threatens to destroy the patch, will this hare come to see that giving things up for others means that you can gain so very much MORE of the most important things in life?

  • A brilliant book to encourage conversations about sharing and community
  • Stunning artwork from the highly-acclaimed illustrator of I'm Sticking with You and The Duck Who Didn't Like Water
  • A warm hug of an ending!
