A book that teaches children how Small Acts of Kindness can make a big impact.
In this book, a little mouse who sleeps in a Christmas Tree hammock scurries around the house at night doing good deeds to prepare the house for Christmas.
Good deeds include, tucking Baby Jesus into the manger, cooling off the hot cocoa for Santa, taste testing the cookies, hanging the mistletoe.
Mouse is setting the example for children that you don’t have to be big to do kind deeds and help others.

What are moms saying about the book?
“The Mouse in the Hammock, A Christmas Tale†is a sweet story that helps to bring the focus back to what the true meaning of Christmas really is - Jesus and doing for others! The message that you’re never too little to make a big difference is simple, meaningful, and easy for our little ones to apply. And seeing the “pay it forward†and “give back†impacts at the end of the book are so sweet! We love that by purchasing this book we are not only able to teach our children a beautiful message, but also make an impact by helping to provide dignified jobs in Nepal and help provide for the children in the Haitian orphanage. Mouse and his hammock are super cute and we can’t wait to hang ours in the tree. And who knows...our little Mouse and his hammock might need to stay out all year round!â€
Book Synopsis:
’Tis the night before Christmas,
And all through the house
Not a creature is stirring
Except one little mouse . . .
Christmas is coming! No time to dilly-dally! All the grownups are busy taking care of the BIG things: the parties, the food, the presents. But who will take care of the little things? Why, someone very little, of course! The Mouse in the Hammock!
Follow the Mouse in the Hammock as he hurries to do all those little things that make Christmas extra special. #mouse.hammock
Just like the mouse in our story, we believe that you don’t have to be big to make a big impact. Simply by purchasing this book, your children will be making a big difference to another child in the world, as we will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Maison des Enfant de Dieu (House of the Children of the Lord), an orphanage in Haiti that is home to over 60 children most of whom have been abandoned since a devastating earthquake either by loss of parents or birth parents who cannot care for them.
