A little mouse helps his new wallaby friend to see that being “big” is all about perspective.
In a deep forest, a small mouse meets a curious wallaby. But when Wallaby assumes that Mouse must find his size difficult, Mouse sets out to prove that being “big” is not just about size. On their journey, the two meet a snake and an eagle, who each have their own ideas about what being big means. This wonderful story shows that being “big” doesn’t always matter, and even the smallest creatures can make a difference. A fun and engaging story that explores mathematical concepts while highlighting the positivity of confidence and curiosity.
