If you knocked on the house with the little red door three times you would find . . .

A little girl named Olivia who is very lonely. In an oak tree in her yard lives a mouse who is also longing for someone to talk to. A snowy day brings them together and they quickly become friends.

The magic of the snow doesn't last, and Mouse's house is damaged by the storm. Olivia tries to help Mouse find a new place to live, but nowhere seems quite right. What they eventually learn is that your home is often not about the place you live, but about the people you're with.

Exploring what makes a house a home, illustrator Grace Easton brings her expressive character illustration and beautiful hand-painted scenery to a story of two lonely neighbors finding friendship in the face of a disaster. Die-cut flaps reveal details around the cozy setting, adding dimension to a story that is sure to warm the hearts of young readers.
