Publisher: Andersen Press Ltd

“Brilliant and bonkers.” Daily Mail
As anyone with young children—or, in ACHUKA’s case now, young grandchilden—knows, leaving the house always, always takes longer than you think it will. And to be fair, it’s not always the youngest person who causes the greatest delay. Daddy! Why didn’t you get your own shoes on while the children were doing theirs?
The writer and illustrator are on to a winner with the theme they have chosen to launch this new series about the loveable O’Hare family.

Little bunny brothers Jackson and Harley love to create chaos and fun in the mornings, from superhero playtimes and breakfast mishaps, to wardrobe dilemmas and toothpaste trouble… and not a lot of listening to Mum and Dad.

No wonder they are always late to leave the house! Will today be any different?

Get ready to laugh, smile, and maybe even recognise a bit of your own morning routine.
