Quiet, profound, and exquisitely beautiful, THE ORDINARY LIFE OF JACOMINUS GAINSBOROUGH is a timeless picture book that celebrates a life lived gently - and well.
Â
Through twelve stunningly illustrated scenes, readers follow Jacominus Gainsborough, a small white rabbit, as he grows from childhood into old age. Jacominus is not the biggest or the bravest. He doesn’t seek glory or grand adventure. Instead, his life unfolds through seasons of family, friendship, love, loss, and everyday moments that slowly shape who he becomes.
Surrounded by people who care for him, Jacominus learns, hesitates, dreams, becomes a father and then a grandfather. There are moments of sadness and fear, but also deep joy and quiet pride - the kind that comes from having loved and been loved, and from doing one’s best.
Created by Rébecca Dautremer, this lyrical, visually breathtaking book offers a universal message: that an ordinary life can be extraordinary simply by being fully lived. A gentle, philosophical look at the passage of time and life’s stages, that celebrates kindness, connection, and quiet courage.
Ideal for thoughtful readers and anyone who treasures beautiful books, The Ordinary Life of Jacominus Gainsborough is a moving reminder of the beauty of being alive - Â just as you are.
