Description

Ko Hea raua ko Ruru tells the story of Hare, who struggles with an unnamed mental malady self-described as 'noise'. Noise could represent runaway thoughts, voices in Hare's head, or loud feelings and general anxiety.

Hare embarks on a journey to find a solution. Just when hope seems lost, a friend, Ruru, calmly flies down and offers suggestions.

Hare ultimately feels better after doing three things:

  • Talking to someone
  • Focusing on breathing
  • Connecting to nature

This gentle story is for anybody who suffers from noises, anxiety, or loud feelings.
