A Mouse Family Christmas
by Deborah Underwood (Author), Leah Hong (Illustrator)
Brief summary: Hugo the mouse and his family are getting ready for Christmas Day by decorating their tree in the attic. Curious, Hugo ventures downstairs to see the large tree, only to find it completely bare. William, an elderly man, spots Hugo and lifts him up, thinking aloud whether to put him outside in the storm. However, he ultimately lets the little mouse return to his family. Grateful for his kindness, the mice come together to repay William for his gesture.
On Christmas Day, William shares his dinner with new friends because his family cannot arrive until later due to the storm.
Comments: This a lovely story about giving and sharing during the Christmas season.
The illustrations were created in gouache and colored pencil on watercolor paper.
