"Tell me a story, Daddy Dodd," my daughter would say, and my father would. From the moment she could talk, she loved to ask for stories, and that is how the world of Christopher Mouse began. Christopher Mouse is a field mouse living under a large rock in the middle of a sprawling meadow. The books follow Christopher Mouse through the meadow as he makes new friends, deals with predators, floods, fear and success, and helps make the world a little better along the way. In this book, Christopher Mouse saves Mr. Hedgehog from Mr. Fox. Mr. Hedgehog returns the favor by improving Christopher Mouse's burrow. Along the way, they become friends and set the stage for many stories to come. I wanted to capture these childhood stories and share them with other children because they have helped my daughter frame many real-world struggles and deal with fear, anxiety, friendships, and morals. After one of the first big floods in Houston, she looked outside and exclaimed that "the Barn Rats had made a huge mess overnight" and there would be some major cleaning up to do. The story she was referencing helped her give the flood a context and, just like the barnyard, she knew that the damage would be repaired, and order restored eventually, and, in the meantime, she was not afraid. But that story comes later. For now, smell the clover and take a short trip through the meadow with Christopher Mouse and Mr. Hedgehog.

Ratatouille meets Roald Dahl in the funny and fantastical story of a determined mouse on a mission to procure the world's tastiest cheese. From the author of A Boy Called Christmas–now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull! When Nikolas left the only home he had ever known, it was a mouse named Miika who kept him company, and it was Miika who accompanied him on his journey to the Far North, in search of his father. But before the events of A Boy Called Christmas, this little mouse was the hero of his own story. A Mouse Called Miika is an epic adventure story on a miniature scale. It's a tale of mice and men (and more mice). It is about one independent mouse who gets fed up with the other mice, and sets out on a quest of his own to prove that cheese exists, and learns to appreciate other creatures. It is also a tale of great love (of cheese) and great danger. And learning the lesson that, with cheese, as with life, what matters most is not how strongly you smell, but how strong you are on the inside. Funny, cheeky, wise, and packed full of Matt Haig's signature warmth. This is set to become a year-round children's favorite.
