Set in the mountains of the West, Marshall Mouse believes he is too different to remain at home. But, when his brother faces a problem, it is Marshall who discovers he holds the secret to making it better and being different can be helpful. The book provides a basis for discussions to help children understand that accepting both similarities and differences is an important concept in our society. The last page and a website provide information and ideas for adults as a guide to continue children’s learning. Through these exercises, children may learn that each individual is special and they can find out what is special about themselves. A story of misunderstanding, discovery and renewal. Hardbound, full color and printed using ecological practices.

About the Author
Judy L. Paris
Judy Paris dreams…of beaches and kaleidoscopes and kids at play. She travels, she makes things, she loves animals and she adores her family. She gained an appreciation of language and reading from her father, a spunky spirit from her mother, a sense of humor from her brothers, and compassion for the future from her children. In respect of the environment, she enjoys nature hikes, recycles, composts, grows food, upcycles, and conserves resources. One highlight of her life was being an educator. After 40 years working with children, she created a science/arts-based museum as a means to enrich young minds. She pursues her desire for positive social messages to permeate the brains of the young, so they will be better prepared to face the unknown world of tomorrows. She earned degrees from Illinois State University and Northern Arizona State University in special education, deaf/hard of hearing, early childhood, elementary education, and educational leadership receiving additional education certifications as supervisor, principal and superintendent. She enjoyed many years in a variety of positions educating children and supervising teachers. She was honored as a Teacher of the Year, an Oxford University presenter, an educational delegate and ambassador, as well as receiving a pile of awards. She completed her career as a university adjunct faculty member, an author for educational publishers and a consultant/trainer for educational companies. But in her words, the highlight, is “the smile on a child’s face and the light in a kid’s eyes, when they ‘get it!’.”
