The Ruby Red Shoes books have been published around the world and have grown a devoted following amongst children and adults alike.

Being an aware hare means cultivating awareness of the world around you as well as inside you — awareness and care of self, the community and our precious earth. These important messages are delivered gently through detailed illustrations and charming stories.
 
From Kate Knapp, creator of Ruby Red Shoes:
 
"Ruby Red Shoes is a product of my own childhood experiences, wishes and dreams of a beautiful life. A place where magic and innocence are still alive. I was driven to create a character as a gentle friend for people and a beautiful world into which they could escape. For children, Ruby's books are like a retreat as they navigate the challenging world around them. For adults, they are a place to revisit the gentle innocence of childhood. I believe adults need children's books, too.
 
Ruby lives in a world that values time spent in contemplation and connection.
Cultivating awareness of the world around you as well as inside you are the foundations of a healthy life. Ruby lives a life where simple things such as gardening, communing with the stars, daydreaming or reading a story at bedtime snuggled with her grandmother, are nourishment for her spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. I believe Ruby reminds us to prioritise these parts of our life."
 
Filled with Kate's intricate and whimsical watercolour illustrations, Ruby Red Shoes is the first in the Ruby Red Shoes trilogy, and is sure to become a treasured story for your favourite little people.
