The Outermost Mouse by Lauren Wolk illustrated by Kristen Adam*

 Sarah Mackenzie recently recommended this picture book on RAR. 

The Outermouse Mouse loves her life along the ocean in a small cottage. One day she notices the tide coming closer & closer to her home. Even though she tries to block the ocean with a line of sand and a wall of shells, the ocean just devours and scatters them. Eventually the man even leaves. A storm descends upon the house and mouse. Will our mouse find the courage to endure?

I love the illustrations as much as the words, especially the depiction of shells and sea glass.

*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
