A teacup-sized little girl discovers a playground in a potted plant, and the perfect swimming pool in a glass of water. Then when she sees a mysterious shadow lurking beyond her books and paper clips, she must summon her courage. But wait! Could this fluffy, purring creature be a friend?
Taltal Levi’s evocative text and illustrations tell an inventive story about courage, imagination, and friendship.

This is a cute and simple story about a little creature who could be something like a fairy, but more reminded me of one of The Littles (if you remember that cartoon from the 1980s). Or perhaps you would be more familiar with The Borrowers? And this little creature loves to go exploring around the house during the day, but is scared by some kind of a shadow. But this little crisis turns into a new kind of friendship. It inspires a sense of adventure, even in your own home, and kind of reminded me of my explorations around the house when I was a kid.
The drawings are also simple with a subtle color palette, but also inspire a sense of adventure and a bit of confidence with the creature who is narrating the story. It was a fun read.
