About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the quiet anxiety of making new friends or feels intimidated by people who seem very different from them. It is a gentle, chapter-style picture book that follows Little Mouse and Big Bear, two neighbors who live on opposite ends of a road but are both secretly lonely. Despite their vast difference in size, they eventually find the courage to say hello and build a meaningful connection. The story beautifully addresses the awkwardness of first meetings and the fear that external obstacles, like a big storm, might take away something special. It is perfect for children aged 3 to 6 who need a roadmap for social bravery and a reminder that friendship can bridge any gap.
