The Poetry Mouse

The Poetry Mouse invites young readers into the charming world of Evie the mouse. She discovers that life isn’t only about baking and tidying. It’s about finding one’s voice and sharing it with the world.

Available on AMAZON.

In this beautifully illustrated tale, Evie quietly slips away from the familiar. She follows her heart and pens new poems. Embracing her unique path, she chooses not to conform to expectations.

As children hear or read this story, they witness bravery and self‑discovery. They also feel the thrill of creative expression. The juxtaposition of narrative and poetry encourages early literacy. It promotes the rhythm of language and visual storytelling together.

Reading aloud this book becomes a moment of connection. Children hear voice, pacing, and tone. Adults share in guiding new vocabulary, wondering about purpose, and celebrating creativity.


“The Poetry Mouse is an astonishing children’s poetry book that will bring joy and wonder to children reading the story and looking at the beautiful artwork. Adults will find a more profound message in the story, one of following your dreams and stopping to appreciate the simple things in life. King and Kusma take the ordinary and transform it into breathtaking.” —Literary Titan Editorial Review


Ideal for readers aged approximately 5 – 12, The Poetry Mouse is perfect for classroom read‑alouds, family bedtime routines, or early independent reading. It supports vocabulary building, comprehension of case‑in‑point themes (identity, courage, passion), and invites children to ask: “What do I love? How might I share it?”

Whether a child pauses to linger on the illustrations or an adult stops to ask reflective questions, this story becomes more than a read. It becomes a journey of encouragement.
