The House on Hare Hill (Sports series) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Most hares love boxing; it's a fact. However, Little Hare likes to keep fit with yoga. On a walk, she discovers which sports other animals love, but when she gets lost, she finds more than she expects. A charming book about wildlife, sport and long ears. This picture book combines nature and sports and the Olympics. Q&A with the author: Q. Why did you write this book? A. I wanted to make a story which was gender neutral: I wanted a female character who could do 'boys' things, and boy characters who enjoyed 'girls' things. I decided sport was a very good way to illustrate this as either gender can do most sports. I think it's really important that we allow our children to take part in the things they enjoy, rather than guiding them to one sort of thing because it's blue or pink. Q. How did you come up with the idea? A. Quite often, my ideas come when I'm doing something boring and my mind wanders....on this occasion, I was at a book event and the weather was terrible, so there weren't too many people to talk to. I happened to be next to the Hare Preservation Society (UK) stand and I got thinking. I love hares, they are such majestic creatures; to make a story about Little Hare was a joy. Q. Have you written anything else? A. Yes, loads! Vincent and the Vampires Royal Fleas Wally and Bert, BFFs Flossie Bonce Bluebell's New School Nature Calls (Free on Kindle/kindle app)

Autorenporträt

Jules Marriner was born in Buckinghamshire in the late 1960's, but has never let this hold her back. She started off training as a fashion designer, but soon discovered she was dreadful at this. After making sprout smoothies in Australia for 6 months, she studied at University for a Degree in Illustration and had an epiphany. Her passion is for Children's Books!! It was at Uni that she realised that she wanted to spend the days drawing animals doing unlikely things. After a spell in London, she moved to the Isle of Wight which was much more animal friendly, what with all the Red Squirrels and Orang-Utans and started writing and illustrating books for children. Jules is currently under the supervision of two teenage children who are too smart for their own good, a nice husband who makes a great cup of tea and two small, naughty dogs who proof read all her written work.
