Reach for this book when your child is starting to take on new responsibilities or feels overwhelmed by the pressure of leading a group. It is a gentle, witty exploration of community leadership and the quiet bravery required to keep others safe. Through the eyes of Hildegarde, the Mouse Mistress of Saint Bartholomew's, children see that being a leader is not about being the loudest or strongest, but about being the most prepared and observant. The story follows a colony of church mice facing the dual threats of a Great X (exterminator) and the upcoming Blessing of the Animals. It balances humor with genuine tension, making it an excellent choice for kids who appreciate animal fantasies like Redwall but need a more grounded, less violent introduction to the genre. It offers a wonderful way to discuss how small actions and careful planning can overcome big, scary problems.
