What a sweet book about Gus, a mouse, who gets chased by a cat and ends up being trapped by a human in a box and taken away from his home and family. Gus was bullied because he was smaller than the other mice, but he must learn how to be brave if he is going to survive.
In his new home, a young monk (I’m assuming young), Jamyang is finding meditating hard as his mind wanders, but when Gus comes into his room in search of water, he must be quiet and still as to not frighten Gus and make him fall.
Pepka’s story of finding inner peace through hard work and effort is beautifully complimented by Cowman’s illustrations. The cover is wonderful, but only tells one part of the story. The real story is Gus finding inner strength to do things he never thought he could. Fantastic picture book!
Thank you NetGalley and Smith Publicity for the opportunity to read an advance reader copy.
