ABOUT THE STORY
Miss Mouse is a retired teacher of etiquette for the very young. One day a Spirit of Light gives her a truly special gift.
It begins each autumn when she and the neighborhood children (chipmunks, squirrels, foxes, racoons, hedgehogs, mice, etc.) plant seed pods that grow into great, big, bushy plants.
Just before Christmas, they all harvest the new seed pods, wrap them in birch bark, and tie them up in silvery and golden spiderwebs.The children load up little red sleighs with the pretty pods and deliver them to their neighbors.
Each neighbor picks the pod that is exactly right for them, for once they hold it in their paws it becomes the gift they have always wanted.
One autumn day, after the pods are harvested, Miss Mouse breaks a promise she made to the Spirit of Light. Her gift is taken from her and all the seed pods shrivel up.
But Mrs. Pokey Hedgehog and other friends of Miss Mouse go to the Trillium Meadow and convince the Spirit of Light to restore Miss Mouse's gift to her, and new pods are harvested in time for Christmas.
Join Miss Mouse and her friends as they decorate her tree, savor her root vegetable stew, crunch sweet acorn cakes, and enjoy a New Year's party with ice skating and a lakeside bonfire.
Miss Mouses's recipes for pumpkin walnut cookies and honey-vanilla-cinnamon hot chocolate follow her story.
