House Mouse

When a clever and resourceful mouse looks for a safe place to settle down, she learns that home is wherever you make it.

A story about friendship, hospitality, and building from the award-winning and bestselling Michael Hall, creator of Red: A Crayon’s Story and Perfect Square. On a chilly morning, a mouse finds something remarkable: a warm and welcoming fire.

So, she builds a stove to mark the spot. When a fox chases the mouse but suddenly stops, she builds a floor on the patch of ground where she is protected.

Soon, it seems as though the mouse has everything she needs for a house.

But there’s one thing missing: friends!House Mouse is a deceptively simple story about hard work, creativity, and sharing from a master of layered, yet accessible picture books.

Michael Hall’s signature bright, bold mixed-media artwork will catch the eye of the youngest readers, as will the busy mouse’s tool collection and construction work. House Mouse is playful and surprising and shares a powerful message about friendship, empathy, and hospitality.

A must-have for fans of Mo Willems and Eric Carle.
