Description

The Little Mouse Santi, written by David Eugene Ray and illustrated by Santiago Germano, is a recipient of a Moonbeam Award, a Gold Mom’s Choice Award, and was named by Kirkus Reviews as one of the Best Books of 2015!

This beautifully illustrated story explores one of the most important aspects of a child’s life, the search for identity. Santi wants to be a cat, and even though all the other mice laugh at him, he follows his dream. This timeless story ends with a whimsical twist: Santi learns a valuable lesson about self-determination and also learns he is not the only dreamer!
