Book overview

A small mouse, a big world, and love that shines like the stars--inspired by the classic nursery rhyme Star Light, Star Bright.

Little Mouse lives safely besides Big Mouse--but dreams of adventure beyond the nest. But without Big Mouse by his side, the world feels like a big and scary place. Could wishing on a twinkling, magical star help Little Mouse remember that Big Mouse's love is never far away?
