The Grass May Not Be Greener
by Hilary Lawrence
The story begins with Mr. Bunny, weary of his life and longing for change:
“Oh, Fairy, I have had enough!
Being a bunny is frightfully tough!
I’d love to change just for one day,
To see the world in a different way.”
Guided by a friendly fairy, Mr. Bunny embarks on a whimsical journey, transforming into various animals – a bee, an elephant, a snake, and a fish. Through these transformations, he learns a valuable lesson: true happiness comes from accepting and loving oneself.
Lawrence’s uplifting and humorous writing, combined with Summerville’s enchanting illustrations, makes “The Grass May Not Be Greener” an engaging read that is sure to become a bedtime favourite. The book’s empowering message is beautifully conveyed, teaching young readers that other people’s lives may seem better, but contentment lies in appreciating one’s own unique qualities.

Being a mother of three children Hilary Lawrence understands what an important part strong core values and beliefs have in our children's development. In todays world having a strong north is essential!
Lessons which children learn from loved ones and from their education enrich, teach and give direction not only in the early years of development, but all through life.
Lawrence’s books are based on famous proverbs which have been part of British culture for hundreds of years. Too many times in history lessons similar to these have been lost and not successfully passed through the generations. Her books remind us of these sayings and bring them to life in beautifully illustrated rhyming stories which appeal to young children. In doing so she hopes to protect them for generations to come.
Lawrence hopes these books and sayings resonate with you and that you enjoy sharing their lessons with your children too.
