Life is not about chasing fame and fortune but spending time with those we love.

Mr Lepron, a grey hare, lives in the forest and has a toasty warm home and many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Oh, and he adores vegetables and making soup. Mr Lepron also enjoys napping and he always dreams of being a famous chef, cooking his magnificent soup. After his vivid, fantastical dreams, Mr Lepron's soup tastes out-of-this-world irresistible. So irresistible, that Mr Lepron becomes famous. So irresistible, that Mr Lepron opens a soup factory that starts working around the clock. But as his dreams turn to nightmares about the factory, Mr Lepron's soup loses its magical flavour, and he realizes that what matters most in the world is not fame and riches, but time spent with his beloved children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, playing, laughing, napping and, sometimes, cooking his soup ... with love.

"A clever, compassionate, and elegantly wrought reminder to do what makes you happy." - Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

"Fantastically detailed watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil illustrations give extra sparkle to this theatrically narrated fable about change caused by the relentless demands of growth and success." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
