This is a children’s story developed through close cooperation between the author/artist and a team of psychologists, under the direction of Professor Jean Piaget who tested each idea, each sentence and each picture for comprehension by five-and-six-year-olds. The story is about a mouse who comes out of his underground home and meets the sun, the moon, the stars—the whole outside world—for the first time.
