Hafren's Big Rescue

By Pete Thompson and Katie Victoria

Hafren's Big Rescue is a gentle, interactive children's picture book about caring for rivers, wildlife, and the natural world.

Deep in the valley, Hafren the river sparkles, giggles, and flows. Birds gather by her banks, fish swim in her clear waters, and dragonflies hide among the reeds. But when rubbish begins to drift into the river, Hafren grows tired and grey. Bottles, cans, plastic bags, and tangled waste put the animals in danger, and the river needs help.

With nets, gloves, buckets, and teamwork, the community comes together to rescue Hafren and help her shine again.

Inspired by the River Severn and the Welsh name Hafren, this rhyming story introduces young readers to river pollution, wildlife, and the power of looking after nature. With playful questions and actions throughout, children are invited to wave like water, count animals, spot rubbish, and join in with the rescue.

A hopeful story about kindness, community, and protecting our world, Hafren's Big Rescue is perfect for families, schools, nurseries, libraries, and anyone who wants to help children fall in love with nature.
