Please meet the tiniest member of the Fables of La Fontaine crew :)
He's sooo cute in person!
For someone that's only about 1 inch tall he has lots of personality. A brave little mouse that didn't hesitate to save Mister Lion's life. Bravo for Tiny Mini Mouse!
When I was making our miniature friend I thought a lot about some news that I read a couple of years ago. It was about a Grandpa driving his grandchildren to some place. He suddenly had a heart attack, in the middle of driving. Imagine how tragic. His brave granddaughter who was a little girl at the time (about 8 years old) managed to keep the car under control. She was able to drive it for a few minutes until she found a way to stop it. Her amazing act saved her life and her sibling's lives. I can't remember if the Grandpa survived (I wish with all my heart that he did) but it's amazing what a huge action this little girl did. Let's never underestimate the power of little ones.
See you tomorrow with the final illustration of The Lion and the Mouse!
Elsita :)
Your story reminded me of a Danish story I heard about a mouse that offered its friendship to the lion. The lion says: what do you have to offer and sends the mouse away. Later on the lion becomes trapped in a net and the mouse bites a hole in the net, frees the lion and they become best friends.
That little girl was as brave as the mouse and did what she could do.
Your mouse is adorable Elsita. Have a lovely weekend.

See how the sky was black during the day, see how long is the night, and at dawn.

I believe tears at a funeral are all those the one who died never got to cry while alive. We finish cleansing their soul when we cry.

This is a great idea and such a beautiful print you chose to use. Also, that picture of your son is just so sweet!

I'm interested in such offer,The sound quality in these podcasts is really poor. I feel bad about complaining about something that is free, but I think it is important.
