The light-rabbit
There are books that entertain. And there are books that change you from within. This is one of the latter, because it moves you and makes you think.
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 for 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. It is a beautiful gift for learning to be more aware of the world around us and to appreciate its wonders. It helps make good decisions and find happiness.
A poetic, emotional and tender story that connects with readers of all ages. Recommended age: from 5 to 120 years old — and that is no exaggeration.
A story written by a mother and her son
The light-rabbit is the fruit of a very special collaboration: that of Anna Arnaiz Kompanietz and her son Alejo Nieto Arnaiz. It was written in an intimate space of joint creation, and this comes through on every page. This is not a manufactured story — it is a lived one. The time they shared was used to talk about things that, in the rush of everyday life, often slip away, yet are essential for helping children grow up happy.
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 echoes the spirit of «The Little Prince».
The illustrations by Begoña Monge Moreno —more than 40 of them— accompany the story with delicacy and colour, creating images that children will want to come back to again and again.
It is the perfect read to share as a family, to give as a gift, or to read in the classroom as the starting point for a conversation about what truly matters.
What is The light-rabbit about?
Across its 29 chapters, Olga and the 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 for nature and the responsibility to care for it.
- Empathy, conscious listening and cooperation.
- The importance of small things.
- The value of what we do, because what we do makes us who we are.
- Loss, memory and the love that remains.
- Making decisions with awareness and courage.
- How to do things with love.
- Living with enthusiasm, building a life with love.
- Choosing to live with love and courage.
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 dreams and love. Deeply meaningful for children — and for the adults who accompany them.
This book does you good.
Who is it for?
Although recommended from age 5, The light-rabbit is one of those books that adults end up reading on their own. Its messages about love for life, self-discovery and self-respect, the value of friendship and making choices that help you be happy resonate just as much in a first-year primary school child as in a parent reading aloud at bedtime. They invite meaningful conversations with children about things that truly matter.
It is the perfect gift for:
- Children aged 5 to 10.
- Families with an interest in emotional education.
- Teachers in Early Years and Primary Education.
- Anyone who enjoys stories with depth and beauty.
