The True Story of A Mouse Who Never Asked For It Book

Written by Ana Cristina Herreros Illustrated by Violeta Lópiz Translated from Spanish by Chloe Garcia Roberts A New York Times Best Children's Book of 2021 Selected for the Rise: A Feminist Book Project for Ages 0-18 Booklist "In this gloriously unruly feminist fable, The True Story of a Mouse Who Never Asked for It explores the power of art-making, the tedium of the domestic, and the dangers of heteronormativity, all within beautiful pictures and tender words. I was enchanted by the pairing of graphic illustration and tight prose on every page. It is luminous and evocative from start to finish." —Alisson Woods, author of Being Lolita What comes to swallow us up?
