Author Hanli Bothma creates another fun-filled adventure that helps children understand life lessons through the help of furry little animal friends. Her latest book, Blossom the Timid Mouse, shows how a little brown mouse deals with her shyness to get what she most desires. 

Blossom notices her friend, Misty the Squirrel, seems to have everything that Blossom could wish for, including lots of friends! Should Blossom start acting like Misty or is there another way for this timid mouse to be more accepted by her friends? 

With colorful illustrations and a story children are sure to love, Blossom the Timid Mouse teaches a valuable lesson and is perfect for children, adults, mice or squirrels of all ages!  

“Some lessons in life are not easy to understand, even for adults. Often children experience situations that make them uncertain or unhappy. These books aim to help children to understand how easy gestures can make the biggest difference.”  - Hanli Bothma
