Hairy and the Hook

The story “Hairy and the Hook” is about a little boy named Hairy who is asked by his mother to pick apples for her pie. On his way to the apple grove, he meets various animals who offer him stones and pebbles. Each time he accepts the gift and puts it in his pocket. A wolf tells Hairy about the most precious stone, which is behind a raspberry bush on the other side of a bridge. Hairy runs to get the stone, picking up more rocks and stones along the way. He eventually gets lost but is led back to the apple grove by a gardener. The gardener offers Hairy a lighter jacket to carry the apples, and Hairy gives up his heavy jacket with all the stones in it. Hairy then returns home with the apples, and his mother bakes him a pie. The story teaches a lesson about the importance of being responsible and the value of a kind gesture. #graphicdesigner #illustrator
