It's the morning before the start of Passover, and all the villagers have swept their homes clean of leavened bread, in keeping with the traditions of the holiday. Suddenly, a small mouse steals a piece of bread and tears through the town, spoiling everyone's hard work!

But just when it seems the townsfolk will never be ready for their Seders, the little mouse's actions bring everyone together.

Families will embrace this rollicking, funny, and ultimately inspiring story—based on a passage in the Talmud—which weaves together the themes of community, kindness, charity, and forgiveness. It's a book that's sure to be shared year after year among the generations.
