Cheerful
Cheerful | Palmer Brown
2 posts
An Easter story for young readers. This is the tale of a little church mouse named Cheerful who lives in the city with his parents; his brother, Solemnity; and his sisters, Faith and Hope. Cheerful and his brother and sisters spend their time frolicking in the rainbow shadows cast by the churchs stained-glass windows and dining on the crumbs of wedding cakes. But while Solemnity, Faith, and Hope are happy to live in the bustling city, Cheerfuls favorite spot has always been the greenest patches of light under the windows. His dream is to settle in the country, and one day he bids his family farewell and sets off on an adventure. Palmer Browns intricate filigreed drawings turn this sweet, simple story into an instrument of enchantment as glorious as a rose window and as intimate as the spun-sugar Easter egg that will finally carry Cheerful to his pastoral home.

I think this little church mouse took the scenic route from Michigan or maybe stopped for a few nibbles along the way, but he finally made it to Calif! 😂🪤Thx so much, Christine! 😘 I‘m so excited about your upcoming #ChildrensClassicRead2026 and this adorable book! 2026 may be the Cat & Mouse year since I‘m looking forward to Cheerful, The Blue Cat of Castletown and The Mouse of Amherst! 😹🐁
