Reach for this book when your toddler is beginning to navigate the frustrations of being small in a big world, or when they are learning that some problems are simply too big to solve alone. It is a perfect selection for those 'I can do it myself' moments that end in a need for a helping hand. Through a gentle and vibrant narrative, the story follows a determined little mouse who spots a mysterious red object high in a tree. As she enlists her friends, the book models how different perspectives, like a mole thinking a cherry is a balloon, can coexist while working toward a common goal. This is an ideal choice for children ages 2 to 5. It uses tactile elements like peek-through holes and a dramatic fold-out flap to keep wiggly toddlers engaged while subtly teaching the value of community, persistence, and sharing the literal fruits of your labor. The bright, textured illustrations by Petr Horacek provide a rich sensory experience that makes the lesson of cooperation feel like a joyful game.
