About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is caught in a loop of comparison or feels the need to 'win' every holiday activity. It is a perfect choice for siblings or friends who are struggling to share the spotlight during seasonal celebrations. The story follows two little mice, Clayton and Desmond, who both set out to find the biggest Christmas tree in Mouseville. While they start their quests separately, they eventually realize that their individual efforts are falling short of their grand ambitions. By joining forces, the two friends discover that collaboration yields a much 'bigger' result than competition ever could. This is a gentle, secular holiday story that validates a child's desire for greatness while teaching the practical benefits of teamwork. It is ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3 to 7) who are navigating the shift from parallel play to cooperative projects.
