Book Nook - The Grass May Not Be Greener

 The first book in her three-part ‘Life’s Great Morals’ series, Hilary Lawrence enthrals young readers aged from three to seven years, with her story of Bunny; his boredom, and his desire to live a different life.

Inspired by famous proverbs that have stood the test of time and highlight the importance of strong core values and beliefs in a child’s development, the author’s stories come alive through the combination of bouncing rhyme and vivid and eye-catching illustrations, courtesy of Katherine Summerville.

With this first narrative helping children to recognise that even if others appear to have an easier life, this may well not be the case; this storyline is supported by additional and fun facts about rabbits, as well as details pertaining to the origin of the proverb.

Already earning a host of praise-worthy reviews, this compassionate new author is on a mission to encourage self-worth, self-esteem and self-love. She is also generously donating 100% of all profits to children’s charities.

 

Synopsis:

Oh, Fairy, I have had enough!
Being a bunny is frightfully tough!
I’d love to change just for one day,
To see the world in a different way.”

Uplifting, humorous and full of surprise, “The Grass May Not Be Greener” is a charming tale about a rabbit who learns to accept himself as he is and enjoy it. Lawrence teaches the important life lesson that even if other people’s circumstances seem better than our own, in reality this is often not the case. This empowering adventure is sure to entertain and enrich young learners of all ages and be a firm bedtime favourite!

Bunny has had enough of his boring life. Good fortune is bestowed upon him when he bumps into a fairy who helps him transform into a bee, an elephant, a snake and a fish for a day. What do you think he discovers?

100% of profits from "The Grass May Not Be Greener" go to children’s charities. We support Kids OR, who save children’s lives in the world’s poorest countries, and The Reading Clinic, who help children with dyslexia and dyscalculia. Thank you for helping us to sustain this must needed work.

Being a mother of three children Hilary Lawrence understands what an important part strong core values and beliefs have in our children's development. In today’s world having a strong north is essential! Lessons which children learn from loved ones and from their education enrich, teach and give direction not only in the early years of development, but all through life.

Lawrence’s books are based on famous proverbs which have been part of British culture for hundreds of years. Too many times in history lessons similar to these have been lost and not successfully passed through the generations. Her books remind us of these sayings and brings them to life in beautifully illustrated rhyming stories which appeal to young children. In doing so she hopes to protect them for generations to come. Lawrence also hopes these books and sayings resonate with you and that you enjoy sharing their lessons with your children too.
