商品描述内容简介This is the story of a little city mouse named Cheerful. He lives in a church with his parents; his brother, Solemnity; and his sisters, Faith and Hope. They spend their days frolicking in the rainbow shadows cast by the stained-glass windows and dining on crumbs left after wedding feasts. Solemnity, Faith, and Hope are happy to be city mice, but Cheerful’s favorite spot has always been the greenest patches of light under the windows. He dreams of the country, and one day he bids his parents farewell and sets off on an adventure.
Palmer Brown’s intricate filigreed drawings turn this sweet, simple story into an instrument of enchantment as glorious as a rose window and as intimate as the sugar-spun Easter egg that conveys Cheerful to his pastoral home.媒体推荐“Adorable is the word to describeCheerfulby Palmer Brown. A tiny book fitting nicely in small hands, it tells the story of a city mouse raised in a church by sober churchmourse father and a light-footed woodmouse mother. Cheerful—so named because that his mother had urged to be when he was little and his long white whiskers made him look sad—played tag cheerfully with his brothers and sisters among the rainbow shadows cast by the stained glass windows, but he longed for his mother’s beloved woods and fields. How he reached them, in a glorious sugar coated Easter egg, and what happened then, will amuse and charm the youngest, oldest, and everyone in between.” –Chicago Daily Tribune
