There are books that entertain. And there are books that change you from within. This is one of the latter.

Olga is ten years old when she meets a light-rabbit. Their friendship transforms everything: the way she sees the world, the way she listens, the way she feels time, the way she exists. Together they discover things that truly matter: talking while being genuinely present with one another, marvelling at flowers opening and leaves growing, listening even to silence, discovering the stars… A time that cannot be measured in minutes, but that will stay with Olga forever.

The Light-Rabbit is a book about true friendship, love of nature and the small things that make life great. A story that teaches children to look, listen and be present, and that reminds adults of what we sometimes forget.

Written by a mother and son in an intimate space of shared creation, The Light-Rabbit is a poetic and spiritual journey about what truly matters. With simple language, short sentences and large print, yet with messages full of wisdom, this book speaks to the heart of readers of any age. It brings to mind the spirit of The Little Prince.

With more than 40 full-colour illustrations by Begoña Monge Moreno, it is a perfect read to share as a family, to give as a gift, or to read in the classroom as a starting point for a conversation about what really matters.

Across its 29 chapters, Olga and the little rabbit explore together:

Identity and the value of being unique · The beauty of paying attention and living in the present · Shared time and the friendship that transforms · Love of nature and the responsibility to care for it · Empathy, conscious listening and cooperation · Loss, remembrance and the love that endures · Making decisions with awareness and courage · Living with hope, building life with love

A book that teaches us to see the invisible, to listen to the wind, to feel the trees and to remember that we too are made of love. Deeply suited for boys and girls, and for the adults who accompany them.

This book does you good.

Perfect for readers aged 5 and up… and for adults of any age.
