The Story of Jumping Mouse / John Steptoe
Lothrop, Lee & Shepard
1984
"You will reach the far-off land if you keep hope alive within you." The words of Magic Frog give courage to the young mouse on his long and perilous journey to reach the wonderful land of legend. He faces many obstacles on his quest and sacrifices much to help others in need. But the mouse's compassion and faith in himself prove to be a source of great power...and bring him rewards even beyond his dreams. - From Amazon
Folktale
The pencil art was lovely - but I balk at the lack of backmatter or any sort of note to give credit to which indigenous people group this story came from. However, it is well and respectfully told.
