Illustrated by
Ryan O'Rourke.
Mouseling grows up in a nest full of written words. When he must find a job, Mouseling becomes a "swashbuckler of words," collecting paper words to build his own nest. Warm digital illustrations and a love of words augment a story that otherwise too rapidly shifts from a tale of overcoming fear and leaving home to one of bravery and unexpected friendship...with a cat.
