A parent might reach for this book when their child feels 'too' something: too small, too tall, too clumsy, or simply different from their peers. This gentle story introduces a tiny mouse who is always told she is too little, and a large mouse who is always told he is too big. Both feel lonely and left out until they meet each other and discover they are the perfect size for friendship. It's a comforting tale for ages 4-8 that beautifully illustrates that our kindness, personality, and how we make others feel are far more important than our physical appearance, opening a door to conversations about self-acceptance and empathy.
