A Rabbit Called Sneeze

A young rabbit called Sneeze experienced an emotion called ‘fear’ when some hunters fired their guns near his home.

His parents realised that he hadn’t felt scared like that ever before, so they spoke to him quietly and warmly, and told him how to handle fear.

We will all feel scared some time in our lives, scared for ourselves or for our family and friends, so it’s something we should all know how to handle and to know what the safest thing to do about it might be when it happens.

With four children under five, living on a small farm near Melbourne, the author respected the need for their careful education and sensible discipline and told them stories, based on farm and wild animals, that would impart to them life lessons for their paths ahead!

With the passage of time, some twenty-five plus years, these stories have now been put down in writing and published for children everywhere who will face similar challenges and choices in their own lives that the author’s children successfully met in theirs.
