About
A hilarious story of love, resilience, inn keeping and restorative justice…that looks quite a lot like revenge. A family of young hares sets up a bed and breakfast after their parents run afoul of a devious coyote. After her parents are duped by a coyote who is a master of disguise, Harriet ("Harry" for short) and her seven younger siblings are left to fend for themselves. Their only resource is their parents' now-empty bedroom, so Harry and her brothers and sisters open a "hare bed and breakfast." It is a great success. Then, the coyote comes calling again and learns that revenge is a dish best served as breakfast.

"An amusing and very relevant cautionary tale." "A little dark, a whole lot of clever and completely charming." "A reader's first impression of "Hare B&B" is of how beautifully and insightfully integrated the words and pictures are. Even on the cover and the immediate inside pages the illustrations, playfully sketch-y and delicately coloured - are full of detail and underscore the joyful resilience of the story (its wordplay kicking off with the title). And what a story - it holds excellent life lessons and standards in a lightly "Series of Unfortunate Events" tenor." "Richardson's witty wordplay might be the hook here, but readers will want to stick around for the satisfying molasses-and-feathering."
"In this latest offering from highly-acclaimed author Bill Richardson, sly humour and subtle whimsy result in an offbeat tale of family love, hotel hijinks and crises averted (with molasses and feathers, no less)." Hare B&B lives up to its punning title's promise of fun.
