Matthew Mouse

By Iris Calaci
Illustrated by David Gonzalez

The story is about Matthew, who survives the loss of his parents, and is adopted by Father Michael and thrives. Matthew learns to appreciate christian ethics and values at a very young age. He is thankful for all he is given and for what he finds as he forages for food and trinkets. Matthew understands the importance of sharing and gettting along with his cousins Missy and Aaron. He also struggles with his fear of the church cat who is his arch nemeis.

Matthew Mouse touches briefly on the loss of parents and loneliness. This makes it a great tool to discuss the topic of death and abandonment. The story moves quickly to how Matthew adapts to his new surroundings and is a truly wonderful story of survival and self-determination.
