Run Rabbit Run
A Tale of Hops, Flops and Finding Your Strengths
Inspired by Don Clifton, founder of strengths-based development, this charming illustrated book helps children discover the power of their unique talents. When Rabbit, Squirrel and Otter start a forest school, they learn the biggest lesson of all: Sometimes, the bravest thing you can be is yourself.
A strengths story for young learners
Rabbit is the fastest runner in the forest. But when she tries to climb trees like her friend Squirrel, she stumbles and starts to doubt herself. With help from Ollie the Owl, the forest’s wise teacher, Rabbit and her friends learn that school is a place to try new things. But real confidence comes from developing what they naturally do best.
Run Rabbit Run introduces children to the idea that everyone has unique talents ready to grow and shine.


“Sometimes, the bravest thing you can be is yourself.”
— Ollie the Owl
