Mama Mouse is running as fast as her little legs can carry her, while holding onto her two frightened babies, an armful of cherished heirlooms, and a basketful of food! The old abandoned farmhouse is being demolished, forcing the little mice family to leave their cozy home and to run for their lives! What is Mama to do? Where will she find shelter for her family? Nighttime arrives as Mama, tired and scared, calls out to the vast heavens above for help and guidance… and WOW... does she get answers!

Her cries for help bring about a couple of strange occurrences that Mama quickly recognizes as “opportunities” to help her family in the midst of their crisis. With her babies in hiding and sleeping the night away, she instantly rolls up her sleeves and gets to work!

The combination of beautiful illustrations and eloquent poetry creates an inspirational bedtime story of how even the tiniest of animals on earth are connected to the stars, the moon, and the universe.  An ideal book for teaching little ones of how hopes and dreams can be realized, not by just wishing, but by taking action and doing good things toward achieving your desires, along with  a little gratitude for what you already have.
