“Rocket was a rabbit with an extraordinary mind, He had a heart for adventure, and he was wonderfully kind.” Despite his fears and insecurities, upon hearing the news that the Burrows were soon to be destroyed, Rocket hesitantly steps up to give the whole rabbit clan a chance of survival. A timeless, heart-warming story bound to make you smile, chuckle, and most importantly, leave you feeling that little bit braver.

Rocket the Rabbit, Gareth’s eagerly-awaited Children’s book, was described as a ‘tribute to all dreamers’, making it a fitting introduction to the industry - but rest assured, there’s plenty more to come.

Rocket is an adventurous rabbit with big dreams and ambitions. Rocket is also very kind and a little shy. His home is a beautiful field with other rabbits, but he feels alone as his dreams differ significantly from his friends.
Rocket’s greatest dream is to fly like a bird and see the world from way up in the sky—a dream the other rabbits think is absurd.
Have you ever seen a rabbit with wings?
The other rabbits do not realize that Rocket is not only a big dreamer but also very smart and a hard worker.
To make your dreams come true, you must believe there are no limits to what you can do.
This beautifully illustrated and rhyming book is a tribute to all dreamers, big and small.
Believe in yourself, dream big, and you will change not only your world but the world of those around you.
I highly recommend this book to little dreamers and non-believers. May Rocket inspire you to not only have dreams but also to achieve them.
It does not matter if you were born without wings, all you need is determination and self-belief, and you will fly!
