About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the frustration of having their hard work 'ruined' or unappreciated by others, especially siblings or peers. Edgar is a talented mouse architect who builds incredible structures out of food, only to have his community eat his masterpieces before they can be admired. It is a perfect choice for little builders and artists who feel protective of their creations. This story validates the intense feelings of anger and disappointment that come when a project is destroyed. While the medium is playful, the emotional core is deeply relatable for children ages 4 to 7. It offers a gentle bridge into discussing how we can find solutions to problems that feel personal, moving from resentment to a clever, satisfying resolution that preserves both the art and the artist's peace of mind.
