Meara and Grandad set out on a journey to find the Golden Hare, a mythical, shape-shifting creature that can jump to the moon in two-and-a-half leaps! Along the way, they discover all sorts of treasures in the trees, under the ground and in the waves.
And who knows where that clever Golden Hare might be hiding …
From Paddy Donnelly, a beautiful picture book story about the magic and wonder of nature that is all around us, inspired by the real, but very rare golden hare of Rathlin Island, near Paddy’s hometown in Co. Antrim.
