Matilda, a small lighthouse mouse fixated in the tedious routine of life, finds herself in a predicament that forces her to enact the lessons that her parents instilled in her. Mr. Berryfoot, the lighthouse keeper, has lost the last working lighthouse fuse, forcing Matilda to abandon the security of her home in order to retrieve the missing fuse. In doing so, Matilda helps save individuals of another species, although her fears and instincts tell her to do otherwise. By locating the errant fuse and befriending the once frightening lighthouse keeper, Matilda realizes being small may mean youre just the right size for a big job.

In love with this book!

This book is the bedtime story my father, the author, told me every night. He brought it to life for us to share it with my children and every child who loves a good story. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have the last 20+ years!
