And so begins a beautiful and remarkable story about a child's journey to independence. With help from his grandfather, Harris learns how to use his enormous feet to hop high into the sky. He climbs to the tops of mountains and runs really fast until suddenly he is on his own. Gorgeous and highly imaginative watercolors illustrate how Harris not only learns about the world around him, but also discovers the importance of finding his own feet. From the author and illustrator of Augustus and His Smile, winner of one of Child Magazine's Best Children's Book Awards.

全书用开阔的画面，通过一只小兔子“发现大脚丫的用途”的故事，讲述了生命的历程。
小兔子Harris觉得自己有一双傻傻的大脚，“为什么我有一双大脚呢？”他问爷爷。
爷爷说，所有的兔子都有一双大脚。“但是为什么呢？”小兔子问。
爷爷带着小兔子越跳越高，让他知道大脚丫的弹跳力；爷爷带着小兔子越跑越远，跑上山岗，望见飞鸟；爷爷带小兔子穿过旱地，告诉小兔子如何用大脚丫挖掘凉爽的洞穴；看！这双大脚丫有多好……小兔子甚至躺在地上把脚丫举过头顶，用大脚丫遮住太阳乘凉。
突然远处一个阴影出现了，是狐狸！爷爷喊着，Harris快跑，快跑！
小兔子跑呀跑，爷爷没有跟上来，小兔子孤独了。等爷爷赶上来的时候，小兔子问爷爷为什么迟到了，爷爷回答道“我已经老了”，It’syour turn torun.——这就是生命，是时候了，小兔子要自己去跑去跳，去发现他的世界了。这就是小兔子Harris为什么要有一双大脚！
This is one of the loveliest books we've come across recently -the tale of a young hare who is introduced to his abilities tobounce and run, as well as to the wider world by his wise oldgrandfather. The layers of the story are significant but simplyconveyed: about our relationships with our elders, the way they canintroduce us to the world, the joys of exploration, and the rootsof home that bring us bounding back again. Highly recommended.
"A second book from a very promising newcomer… In a series offluid, elegant pictures, Young Harris finds out how to make themost of his lovely big feet. A gentle story in pleasing colours,strongly designed, with just enough menace in the shadow of thewolf cast across the page." --Carousel, July 2008
"Tigers at Edinburgh Zoo provided Catherine Rayner with theinspiration for her award-winning picture book Augustus and HisSmile, and in the follow-up the artwork is stunning once again…With its beautiful pictures and inspiring message, this book isperfect for nursery-aged children ready to take their first stepsto independence." --Scotland On Sunday, April 2007
