This new book from the author and illustrator of the runaway hits Come Worship with Me and A Children's Guide to Worship will charm longtime fans as well as those discovering these adorable mice for the first time. These endearing stories are set in the fictional town of Hillsborough and it's church, the Church of the Least of These. The church mice live, work and play together, in the process demonstrating hope in their daily lives and actions.

The stories, which take place during the Christmas season, show the community--and especially six memorable children in one Sunday School class--learning how to care for one another, welcome outsiders, disagree in love, forgive their friends, and love as Christ loves. They reflect a community living out its faith by choosing to hope. This beautifully illustrated book can easily be read to or by children. Recommended for ages 5 to 9.
