I Am Hattie the Hare is a charming tale about Hattie and all the beautiful creatures of her kind, written in playful rhyme by Pam Ayres. We didn’t always live here, once we had a sunny home, We came here with centurions, all the way from Rome . . . From grape green meadows to old-fashioned farms, hares travelled thousands of miles to find a home in our countrysides. What do they eat? What’s their perfect habitat? Can you tell them apart from rabbits? Wonderfully illustrated by award-winning artist Nicola O’Byrne, I Am Hattie the Hare is a follow-up to Amazon bestseller, I Am Oliver the Otter. Bursting with natural and historical facts interwoven throughout the story, and with an information spread at the end, that includes tips on where to spot these gentle and instinctive animals.

Nicola grew up in Singapore surrounded by the vibrant colors of the tropics and had not even heard of illustration as a career before she discovered the Illustration course at Edinburgh College of Art. Having graduated from ECA, Nicola has now completed a Masters in Printmaking from Camberwell College of Art, as well as pursuing a career in children’s book illustration.
