The Button Map

About the book

When the cold comes too early, one small mouse decides not to wait. Far beyond the misty hills, a village of shy mice lives beneath a great oak, their winter stores nearly empty, and one young mouse sets out with a carved wooden button that turns out to be both a map and a lantern to find the legendary great pumpkin of the old stories. Along the way he learns the only magic that works against the Darkness: say what you feel, out loud, and keep feeling it.
