The Most Wonderful Gift in the World

(4) PS Translated by Angus Yuen-Killick. Illustrated by Anastacia Wessex. A young mouse is anxious to find a perfect present for “Mommy’s special day” but each great idea—a pinecone, a flower, a feather—is damaged in transit. The mouse is dejected about the presents being ruined, but Mommy says she already has the perfect gift: predictably, “YOU are the most wonderful gift in the world!” Lovely, soft-hued illustrations elevate the story, originally published in Spain.
