My Itty-Bitty Squeakheart

Illustrated by Pelin Turgut
Celebrate the power of love with Mommy and Baby Mouse during cozy reading time with this heartwarming board book, filled with sturdy, die-cut board flaps throughout that weave the text and illustrations together.

Join Mommy and Baby Mouse as they show how much they love each other! This cozy board book features cleverly shaped pages and peek-throughs that transform each page. Adorable illustrations follow the pair throughout the day as they wake up and embrace in a snuggly hug, jump into the pond together, glide through the air on a leaf on a windy day, share a yummy strawberry, and snuggle close under the moon and stars at the end of the day. The animals are shown on separate parts of each page, but with a turn of the sturdy board flap, the two are brought together in sweet embraces. Perfect for sharing with a special little one!
Patricia Hegarty began working in children's publishing more years ago than she cares to remember! As an editor she has worked on titles ranging from atlases to animal pop-ups, craft kits to crazy mazes, and sticker books to secret diaries.

Pelin Turgut is a children’s book illustrator, and her favorite thing to do is create art in her studio. Pelin completed her undergraduate studies at Yeditepe University of Fine Arts at the Faculty of Graphic Design, and she lives in Istanbul, Turkey.
