One winter day, a hungry bunny is given a gift of carrots, and a choice: keep them for himself, or share them with his friends. Bunny chooses to share, and sets out to bring the carrots to his friends. It's a long journey through deepening snowdrifts, and just when the way seems hardest, he discovers he is not alone. One by one, the animals of the forest come to his aid.

The Golden Rule is the first book in the Collected Wisdom series from Ardea Herodias Books. Alongside Bunny's story, young readers hear the Golden Rule, treat others as you would like to be treated, in the words of eighteen of the world's cultures, traditions, and faiths, and discover how many different people, across centuries and continents, arrived at the same simple truth.

Written and illustrated by Carmel Mawle. For children ages 4-8 and the grown-ups who read with them.
