Ups and Downs of Mouse and Mole

Mouse and Mole

by Joyce Dunbar

It's pouring with rain, and Mouse and Mole just don't know how to make it stop. They shout at the sky, hug and kiss the raindrops, and even do a stop-raining dance. But then they decide that being friends with the rain is the best way to have fun.

About the author

Joyce Dunbar is an English author of over seventy children’s books, best known for Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go To Sleep, This Is The Star, and the Mouse and Mole series. Born in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, she studied English at Goldsmiths College before teaching drama until hearing loss led her to write full time in 1989. Her first children’s book appeared when she was 35, followed by works such as Mundo and the Weather-Child, which explored the experiences of a deaf child and earned critical recognition. Her stories have been adapted for stage, television, and interactive media, with Mouse and Mole becoming a 26-part animated series. She has also been an advocate for deaf awareness, cycling across Cuba for charity. Dunbar lives in Norwich.
