Mouse liked having his own yard. There was never a stick out of place. There was room to stretch. Room to move. But when Pak-Rat moves in next door, Mouse realized two things:
One: A neighbor meant sharing the yard.
Two: It was going to be a problem.
Youll cheer for both Mouse and Pak-Rat in this hilarious story about honest communication, boundaries, and yesfriendship!
Maddie Frost creates her illustrations by making handmade textured and patterned swatches with materials like watercolour paint, crayon, pencils, and even kitchen spices! She scans the swatches into Photoshop and digitally cuts the shapes she needs to make something. Her final images can consist of anywhere from fifty to five hundred pieces that are all layered together. Maddie lives in Arlington, Massachusetts, with her husband.
