Maria is not called the Christmas mouse for nothing. She has been handing out nuts to people for three years now. The other mice have laughed at her several times, because no other mouse would have thought of going near humans. Maria has also avoided direct contact so far, usually placing the nuts unnoticed and grabbing a piece of cheese or a grape for the Christmas buffet in return. During this year's distribution campaign, she has an extraordinary idea: she no longer wants to avoid contact with people, but instead wants to give them gifts directly. But how can she do that? A wonderful story to read aloud or on your own about a mouse who reaps love and recognition with courage and generosity.
