Overview
Winner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 2009 Harris was a very small hare with very big feet. “Why do I have such enormous feet, Grandad?” Harris sighed. So Grandad shows Harris how to hop high into the sky, to climb to the tops of the mountains, and to run very fast. Harris not only learns about the world around him but also the importance of finding his own feet... A beautiful and remarkable story of a child’s journey to independence.
