Scoochie Mouse makes her home in the chicken coop beneath the nest of her friend Henrietta, on the farm of a kind, loving family with two children, Tom and Jessica, their friend Birdie, and their dog Woof.
Scoochie's adventures and growing knowledge of the world are interwoven with farm and family life, with the circle of the seasons, and with fairy tales told during quiet evenings. The world in which Scoochie and the farm family live is our world, too, seen through the innocent eyes of childhood.
Our play, our work, our song,In us becomes a light.
We carry it along, 'til stars shine through the night.
With the stars we share our light, filled with love, shining bright.
Born from the wisdom of the Waldorf approach to early childhood learning, Scoochie Mouse and the Miracle of Life (as well as its companion, The Adventures of Scoochie Mouse) is a gentle, healing book about deep reverence for the natural world, abiding kindness toward all creatures, love, and goodness.
The 56 short chapters are perfect for reading aloud to young children and are appropriate for early readers (and grown-ups!) to read themselves.
(Ages 3-6+ years)
