Once there was a bear who had never seen Christmas. And Hare, his best friend, is determined to put things right. But what can he do? What is the perfect gift that is just right for a sleepy, slumbering bear?
After finding the courage to visit the special baby that has been born in a stable, a timid young hare discovers that even he has a gift for the child.
He had been waiting all his life, hoping to hear the hare's song. . . The boy and his family are special. While others hunt the hares, his family search for leverets orphaned by the hunt and keep them safe. When the hares begin to move across the land, the boy and his sister know that their greatest challenge has begun. They must follow and watch and wait until the time comes for the old queen to leave and her child to reign in her place. But others are searching for the golden queen of the hares, a hunter with two hounds, one silver, one black. Can two children, on their own, keep the golden queen safe from the man and his hounds?

And a lamb has soft, cozy wool. But the shy little fox has nothing to offer . . . or so he thinks.
