The Mouse from Laos
The first book of our I am series.
The Mouse from Laos offers a peephole into a lesser-known land with a simple map, national landmark, Lao greeting, flag and other teachable moments about animals, colors, shapes, patterns...
A bit quirky and repetitive, everything children love.
Although simple and silly, this series is created to stimulate curiosity and cultivate tolerance.
