Alvin's Ears

Sharon Probert

This heartwarming story addresses common childhood issues including bullying and the differences between us all.

It was written to read with your child so the themes discussed in the book can be shared together. In my experience as a paediatrician, mum and grandmother , a story is always a good place to start.

Alvin is a shy rabbit, who lives with his relatives in the Seven Warrens. Being the only member of his family with lop ears affects his self-confidence. When he plays lettuce ball (rabbit football), he often falls over his ears and is teased by his brothers. He is so worried about embarrassing himself he doesn't enjoy playing with his brothers anymore. In fact, he has started to have tummy pains before games.

To help Alvin find the confidence his wise grandfather hatches a scheme to show Alvin he can be brave and can stand up to his brothers. Follow Alvin on a path of adventure, through a series of tests to find his bravery.

I hope you enjoy reading about Alvin and the book helps children learn to celebrate their differences and embrace their uniqueness.

ABOUT SHARON PROBERT


As a paediatrician, I see how the health of children is affected by bullying. These health issues can impact educational attainment, as well as hobbies and friendships. As a parent of three, I witnessed first-hand the effects bullying had on my youngest child's physical and social development. The decline in her confidence levels took many years to address. Eventually she developed irritable bowel syndrome, which is a problem I see on a regular basis in my paediatric clinics.

I wrote Alvin's Ears' to help children understand that it is fine to be different, but also that you can affect other people by the things you do and say.
