A little mouse looks for the strongest mate in the world - one who is stronger than the sun, stronger than the wind, stronger than a house. But on her search, she makes the most important discovery of all - it is she who holds the key to her own destiny.
Based on a traditional folktale recounted in African, Asian, and Central American cultures, this adaptation boasts a mouse heroine who takes a courageous journey toward self-acceptance and self-affirmation. Paintings drawn from the mouse's perspective, delight the eye.
