The Snowshoe Hare And The Robin

From the safety of her home under a boathouse, Henrietta watches the other snowshoe hares hop on the lush green grass and forage for plantains. She's a little scared-venturing out into the wide world means exposing herself to coyotes, eagles, and other predators. When Henrietta gathers the courage to leave the boathouse, she meets Rupert, a robin. Hare and bird strike up an immediate friendship. Rupert may have wings, but it's Henrietta who dreams of travel. She wants to sail across the beautiful deep Bras d'Or Lake to explore the mountains on the other side. Rupert thinks his friend is better off where she is, but when she asks for help, he gives it willingly. After all, friends are there to support and help each other. What Rupert and Henrietta don't realize is that robins and snowshoe hares live very different lives. A change is coming with the seasons-one that threatens to separate the two friends. Accompanied by author Ingrid Moberger Sanborn's evocative sumi-e ink paintings, The Snowshoe Hare and the Robin grew out of Sanborn's observations of animal life in her home in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
