This new book from the author and illustrator of the runaway hits Come Worship with Me and A Children’s Guide to Worship will charm fans of that book as well as those discovering these adorable mice for the first time. In these endearing stories, set in the fictional town of Hillsborough and its church, the Church of the Least of These, the characters, all church mice, live, work, and play together, in the process living out theological themes and demonstrating hope in their daily lives and actions. The stories, which take place during the Christmas season, show the community—and especially six memorable children in one Sunday school class--learning how to care for one another, welcome outsiders, disagree in love, forgive, and love as Christ loves. They reflect a community living out its faith by choosing to hope. This beautifully illustrated book can be read to or by children.
