Jumping Mouse: A Native American Legend of Friendship and Sacrifice
$29.99
Jumping Mouse is just like another other mouse, except she has a dream—a dream to reach the fabled High Places. But one small mouse can’t make the long journey alone. At the start of her journey, Jumping Mouse is gifted new long legs from wise Grandfather Frog. Filled with gratitude, she soon meets others who need assistance and makes sacrifices to help them, putting her dream of the High Places at risk. Through perseverance, belief, and teamwork, Jumping Mouse discovers who she was truly meant to be, and demonstrates the value of friendship and selflessness.
Characters come to life through striking photographs of ash-fired ceramic sculptures, giving a fresh twist to this retelling of a timeless tale from the oral tradition.
