An enchanting story for young and old, about embracing who you are. Because no matter how big or little you are, it’s your heart that really counts. For children ages 4 years and up.

Luckily, thanks to a series of unexpected adventures, Mouse discovers that little mice can also be very big, in their hearts and in their deeds.

About this title

About the Author

Dutch author-illustrator Ron van Maurik loves to draw. He thinks it’s fascinating that a few lines can make a piece of paper come alive. When Ron isn’t busy illustrating, he’s probably running around barefoot in nature, climbing rocks, or swimming in a beautiful lake, preferably with his son, who has taught him that the world we live in is so much brighter and more colorful than he remembered it to be. Seeing the world through his son’s eyes has impacted Ron’s art and life in the most wonderful way.
