This beautiful, wordless story told visually from beginning to end features a small, meek man who transforms a small town through simple moral principles. The characters' stories are woven together to create a tale that spans borders and nationalities and will refresh the human spirit with principles of compassion, honesty, integrity, and generosity. Children will also delight in searching for Squeakers the mouse, hidden somewhere on every page.

I absolutely adore this book. There is so much to look at and explore! The message is simple-with a little love you can brighten up anybody's day!! There's so much to tell even with no words said. There are so many hidden pictures that even adults can find looking at the pictures intriguing! Some things only adults would understand! A I love Lucy picture in a bedroom! There are so many lives and stories being told for all of the individuals in the small town. You'll have to look over the book plenty of times to see how each person's life is changed! It's brilliant!!
