Raising Hare

Chloe Dalton

Why read it

Dalton rescues a newborn hare and learns to care for it while leaving it free to return to the countryside. Their unusual companionship offers a close look at another creature’s needs and independence.

A question to carry with you

What does care look like when it leaves room for another being to live on its own terms? That question connects this memoir with the patience and trust in Raven’s story.

Who it’s useful for

Animal lovers, nature readers, and anyone interested in paying closer attention to the life around them.

A tension or limitation

This is one unusual relationship with a wild animal, rather than a general guide to raising wildlife.
