This tiny mouse whose wings expand,
Will turn a reader to a fan.
Before you get your (sun-safe) tan,
Give Teaky Squeaker’s Greatest Plan!

Sun is out, it’s summertime.
Want to give the gift of rhyme?
A mouse who’s paralyzed with fear,
A crafty cat who’s lurking near,
A gift to wrap another year,
Amuse the eye, the mind, and ear.

Many kids are anxious going back out into the world after the past two years. A little mouse named Teaky Squeaker felt the same way. Then one day she was forced to face her greatest fear. This is the story of how she met her challenge.
