Rebecca Dautremer: The Ordinary Life of Jacominus Gainsborough

This timeless picture book captures the quiet wonder of an ordinary yet extraordinary life. Through 12 beautifully illustrated scenes and portraits of our hero at different ages, follow Jacominus Gainsborough – a humble, fluffy white rabbit – through the changing seasons as life unfolds all around him.

From childhood through to old age, Jacominus is fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends. He may not be the biggest or strongest, but he grows, learns, faces moments of sadness and also finds great joy. This celebration of his life, as he becomes a father, and then a grandfather, tells the story of a soul who has loved and been loved, of the pride of having done one’s best and of the happiness of a life well lived.

Rébecca Dautremer brings a universal message of the beauty of being alive in this lyrical, stunningly illustrated story.
