Squirrel and Mouse are great friends. One day they set off on an adventure to find a wonderful orchard of delicious fruit they heard so much about. Like every great adventure, there are ups and downs along the way. Squirrel keeps his cool and Mouse reacts to everything. Based on the Ancient Taoist Fable of the Farmer’s Son, The Adventure of Squirrel and Mouse is a beautifully illustrated book that teaches how quickly our mind can jump to conclusions. No event can truly be judged on its own as good or bad. Only time can tell the whole story. So why not wait and see?! The truth is, we don’t know what’s going to happen; we just think we do. So often we make a big deal out of something. We blow up scenarios in our mind about the terrible things that are going to happen. Most of the time we are wrong. If we keep our cool and stay open to possibilities, we can be reasonably certain that, eventually, all will be well. Remember Maybe, Maybe not!
