Hardie Grant Children's Publishing

Little Hare creates books that resonate with children: books that whirl them away into their imaginations and books that bring them home to the familiarity of their own worlds. The stories are accessible, the concepts are fun and the illustrations are outstanding. The editorial team is dedicated to quality, and works with a wide selection of established authors and illustrators, as well as introducing exciting new talent to the world of children’s books.

The list is traditional, but it has a quirky edge and, while based in Australia, Little Hare books are universal in appeal and can be found all over the world. Little Hare was founded by Rod and Mary Hare in 2000 and fast became a publisher of note locally in Australia as well as overseas.

In January 2010, Little Hare was acquired by, and became an imprint of, Australian independent children’s publisher, Hardie Grant Egmont. Being part of a bigger family where quality stories and a dedication to children’s books is integral, the Little Hare list continues to grow and thrive.
