Bad Hare Day is a colourful, humorous, and heartwarming picture book about Holly — a curious little hare who gets to join her Uncle Herbert at his hair salon for a day. She promises to be good… but it doesn't take long before her imagination takes over and the salon turns into a creative chaos.

When Herbert steps out to receive a delivery, Holly seizes the opportunity to experiment with scissors, colours, and styling products. The result?

A flamingo fluffed to three times its size

A moose with mousse all over its fur
