A board book edition of the holiday classic with a message for all that highlights the spirit of gifts and giving
One morning, Little Hare wakes up to a thud on her roof. When she goes outside to investigate, she finds a gift-wrapped package has landed on top her house. So starts a search to find the owner. She drags the package all over the forest on the back of her sled, but no one knows whose it is, until she bumps into a large figure dressed in red and white with a long white beard and glasses. This charming story follows the unfolding adventure as Little Hare helps to avoid a disaster and save Christmas for all the forest friends. And, for all her efforts, Little Hare is rewarded for her generosity and selflessness with her own special gift. With delightful pastel art, Oleksandr Shatokhin has penned a tale that wonderfully embodies the spirit of the gifting season.

Little Hare Finds a Gift by Oleksandr Shatokhin is one of those quiet little picture books that sneaks up on you with its sweetness. It has soft woodland charm, gentle storytelling, and the kind of warmth that makes bedtime reading feel extra cozy.
Little Hare sets off with a simple mission: find the perfect gift. But as the journey unfolds, the story becomes less about things and more about kindness, thoughtfulness, and the small moments shared along the way. It’s simple in the best possible way — easy for young readers to follow while still carrying a lovely emotional message underneath.
The illustrations are absolutely adorable. Everything feels soft and storybook magical, like stepping into a tiny woodland world wrapped in autumn leaves and warm tea energy. Every page has a calm, comforting atmosphere that makes you want to slow down as you read it aloud.
This book works especially well for:
* bedtime winding down
* gentle read-aloud moments
* toddlers and preschoolers
* kids learning about kindness and giving
* adults who secretly buy picture books for themselves because the art is too cute to resist
The pacing is calm and soothing, making it a great choice for little readers who enjoy cozy stories over loud chaos. It has that “curl up under a blanket and read together” feeling from beginning to end.
Overall, Little Hare Finds a Gift is tender, heartfelt, and beautifully illustrated — a small woodland story with a very big heart.
