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
Hare & Ruru is a gentle and important story that is much needed in the chaos of modern life. It will spark important conversations and is a safe (and cute) way to raise mental health with our younger generation. -- NZ Booklovers Review, Rebekah Lyell
