About the book
A heart warming picture book about a young hare, Harris finding his confidence, his worth, and himself, with the help of his Grandad.
Exploring the world alongside Grandad, Harris finds all that he could do with his enormous feet, and all the beauty that nature holds. Until one day...
Being all on his own now, will Harris continue to explore the world just like what Granddad had told him to?
This beautifully illustrated children's picture book perfectly depicted the process of growing up and losing a loved one. Often we find it hard to explain life and death to our children, but this book perfectly illustrated the things we ought to enlighten our children.

Harris Find His Feet
Harris was a very small hare with very big feet. "Why do I have such enormous feet, Grandad?" he sighed. "All hares have big feet, young Harris," said Grandad.
And so begins a beautiful and remarkable story about a child's journey to independence. With help from his grandfather, Harris learns how to use his enormous feet to hop high into the sky.
He climbs to the tops of mountains and runs really fast until suddenly he is on his own. The gorgeous and highly imaginative watercolours illustrate how Harris not only learns about the world around him but also discovers the importance of finding his own feet.
From the author and illustrator of Augustus and His Smile, winner of one of Child's Magazine's Best Children's Book Awards.
