Maisie the Mountain HarePaperback, 4 July 2023

A fun, rhyming story about Scotland's amazing mountain hare.

Maisie the mountain hare loves playing hide and seek with her brother Archie and their friend Thomas the ptarmigan ('tar-mi-gan' ). Archie is the best at hiding and Maisie has the keenest eyes. As the baby hares grow, their coats turn white to help them camouflage in winter. But with no snow in sight, the siblings are in danger. Can Maisie and Archie work together to stay safe?

Written in Lynne Rickards' signature rhyme, this is a playful tale of friendship and teamwork. Abigail Hookham's dynamic illustrations of Scottish animals and heather-covered Cairngorm landscapes are full of detail and character.
