From the Publisher:
Celeste is a mouse who is looking for a home, but it's not beneath the dusty floorboards; in the toe of a worn boot; in the dollhouse in the attic, complete with mouse-size furniture; or nestled in Joseph's pocket; Celeste discovers that home is really the place deep inside her heart, where friendships live.Celeste, a mouse longing for a real home, becomes a source of inspiration to teenaged Joseph, assistant to the artist and naturalist John James Audubon, at a New Orleans, Louisiana, plantation in 1821. |
Annotation:
The adventures of a timid mouse named Celeste and the famous naturalist John James Audubon combine in this excellent story. Set during the time Audubon was collecting specimens on a Louisiana plantation in 1821, this beautifully illustrated story follows Celeste as she searches for a true home. Gifted at weaving tiny baskets, Celeste is on the run from overbearing rats and a frightening cat when she's taken in by Audubon's assistant, young Joseph. With him, Celeste finds friendship, new experiences, and explores the world. Accompanied by expressive B&W illustrations.

"The volume and cinematic quality of Cole's naturalistic pencil drawings recall THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET...Evocative illustrations, compelling characters, and thoughtful reflections on the nature of home combine to powerful effect."
