O miški, ki je zbirala pogum
(The Mouse that Plucked up Her Courage) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
A tiny mouse living in a big world has an even bigger wish – cheese, of course! But how can she get to it when it’s tucked away in a distant pantry? It’s dark in there, and there’s a cat – the kind that devours exactly this sort of mouse: cute, whiskered, and dressed in pretty little outfits. Yet the mouse’s greatest challenge isn’t the cat at all. It’s her own mistaken belief that everyone else is braver, far braver, than she could ever be. So how can she get past her fears?

Comment:
The [tiny mouse’s] mother is her biggest cheerleader, gently but firmly making it clear from the start that fetching the cheese is something she must do on her own. Taking this first step toward independence, the little mouse sets off on her journey. By the end of this touching story, she comes away with far more than a piece of cheese. She learns two truths that apply to mice and humans alike: everyone is afraid of something, and the only way past fear is to face it head-on. (source: gospodicnaknjiga.si)
