A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about a new person or situation, such as starting school or meeting a new neighbor. It gently addresses the common childhood fear of the unknown and the tendency to assume the worst. The story follows a community of mice who fly into a panic when they learn a cat is approaching. Their fear spreads and builds until the cat finally arrives, revealing a wonderful, kind surprise. Through simple, repetitive text and expressive illustrations, the book models how collaboration can spring from fear, but more importantly, how our biggest worries are sometimes just misunderstandings. It's a perfect story for encouraging open-mindedness and bravery in children ages 3 to 7.
