Thanks to Jimmy Patterson Books for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
Do you find inspiration in quotes? Are there quotes of wisdom that have been passed down through generations in your family? Are there favorite quotes you’ve found in books you read? In our family, we have wWords to live by that have been passed down from generations. I have a few family quotes that came from my great grandmother that I find useful, especially when things get difficult in life. Jimmy Patterson’s new book Word of Mouse is full of great quotes and word to live by.
My oldest daughter found a quote found a favorite quote in Word of Mouse that she thought had some great meaning. “All of us are given gifts. How we use them is up to us.” Pretty insightful for an 11-year-old to find that quote meaningful.
James Patterson’s newest illustrated middle-grade story follows the illuminating journey of a very special mouse, and the unexpected friendships that he makes along the way.
What makes Isaiah so unique? First, his fur is as blue as the sky—which until recently was something he’d never seen, but had read all about. That’s right—Isaiah can read, and write. He can also talk to humans—if any of them are willing to listen! After a dramatic escape from a mysterious laboratory, Isaiah is separated from his “mischief” (which is the word for a mouse family), and has to use his special skills to survive in the dangerous outdoors, and hopefully find his missing family. But in a world of cruel cats, hungry owls, and terrified people, it’s hard for a young, lone mouse to make it alone. When he meets an equally unusual and lonely human girl named Hailey, the two soon learn that true friendship can transcend all barriers.
