About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the 'scary stranger' phase or tends to judge new situations based on a frightening first impression. It is a perfect tool for de-escalating anxiety about the unknown by showing that our fears often stem from misunderstandings rather than actual danger. The story follows a mouse fleeing from a massive, roaring gorilla through various terrains, only to discover that the chase wasn't an attack, but a loving pursuit. With its rhythmic, repetitive prose and high-energy pace, this book is ideal for children ages 3 to 7. It helps normalize the feeling of being small and overwhelmed while providing a comforting, humorous resolution that shifts the narrative from fear to friendship.
