Bookroo's summary

In a twist on a classic fable, a timid mouse, overshadowed by her twin, must face the king of beasts after her sister breaks a promise. As she navigates this unexpected challenge, the mouse discovers her own courage and the power of kindness. Will she manage to save the day and find her own voice in a world that often overlooks her? This tale of bravery and perspective invites readers to see the strength in even the smallest creatures.

From the publisher

She’s always been the “invisible” twin, but when her sister reneges on a promise to the king of beasts, a timid mouse chews her way into the spotlight. This sweet, fractured twist on a classic Aesop’s fable, told from the mouse’s point of view, celebrates kindness and bravery of all sizes. Includes a condensed version of the original tale.
