A wonderful new Peter Rabbit book with a heart-warming rhyme that celebrates grandpas everywhere.

"Grandpa, your love makes me feel bold and strong,
And I know that by your side is where I belong."

Join Peter Rabbit in celebrating grandpas everywhere with this beautiful rhyming text, with contemporary design and gorgeous illustration that captures the charm and warmth of Beatrix Potter's original drawings. Fans old and new will love this gentle, heartwarming tribute to all the reasons why grandpas are wonderful. 
Beatrix Potter was born on July 28, 1866, at No. 2, Bolton Gardens, Kensington, London. Beatrix Potter discovered her love of nature on annual summer holidays in Scotland and the Lake District.  On September 4, 1893, Beatrix sat down to write a picture letter to Noel Moore, the five-year-old son of her ex-governess, all about a naughty rabbit called Peter. Noel was ill in bed and so Beatrix wrote to him: "My dear Noel, I don't know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits. . . . " Some years later, Beatrix thought of publishing the story as a book. She rewrote it into an exercise book and sent it to six publishers. It was rejected by every one of them. It was not until Beatrix had printed the book herself that Frederick Warne agreed to publish it. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1902, costing one shilling (the equivalent of just 5 pence today), and became one of the most famous stories ever written. Many of Beatrix's later books were set at Hill Top—the rats that infested the farm inspired The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, Tom Kitten and his sisters climb up the rockery wall at the bottom of Hill Top garden, and Ginger and Pickles.
