About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, like moving to a new house or starting a new school, and needs a comforting story about family solidarity. This gentle adventure follows a family of mice who must leave their familiar home to escape a predatory cat. It validates the anxiety of leaving the known while celebrating the excitement of finding a new, safer place to belong. At just 80 pages with charming illustrations, this is an ideal bridge for early readers or a cozy family read-aloud. It emphasizes that while the world can be big and occasionally scary, a supportive family and a bit of bravery make any obstacle manageable. The story is particularly helpful for normalizing the 'big feelings' that come with change without being overly heavy or frightening.
