About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is curious about the true meaning of the holidays or when you want to nurture a spirit of selflessness and community care. It provides a gentle, meaningful bridge between the excitement of seasonal decorations and the deeper values of empathy and sacrifice. Set in the hidden world of an attic, the story follows a tiny mouse named Gamey who was born among Christmas ornaments in the heat of summer. When winter brings a harsh famine to the mouse colony, Gamey risks his own safety to share his food, nearly missing the very holiday he has dreamed of. This 1980s classic is a poignant tool for discussing how our small acts of kindness can have a ripple effect, making it an ideal choice for families looking to move beyond the commercial aspects of the season.
