A Story of Forest Friendship
In a peaceful forest, three little mice lived happily. One day, a mysterious large cardboard box fell from the sky and landed right at their doorstep. To their surprise, the box was filled with cans of tea! The clever little mice transformed the box into a cozy teahouse, sharing the fragrant tea with their fellow forest residents.
But one rainy night, a heavy downpour drenched the cardboard teahouse, making it impossible to continue serving tea. Just when the mice were at a loss, the forest community came together—old beavers, moles, hedgehogs, and many others—to help rebuild the teahouse. Soon, the laughter of the forest residents and the soothing aroma of tea filled the air once more.
This heartwarming picture book, created by the talented and emerging author Zhang Yue over the course of a year, invites children into a magical forest community. Through its story, young readers will experience the beauty of kindness, the joy of creativity, and the warmth of neighborly bonds in a world where friendship and cooperation make everything possible.
