Why call my blog MouseSqueaks? Well, here are a few reasons:
#1. I think they are adorable. I got my first pet mouse when I was in 4th grade, and I even took a mouse with me to college (I've had very educated mice). Over the years, as I've observed their behavior, I've learned to appreciate these tiny creatures. I can't understand why some people are afraid of them! Really? They are tiny, won't hurt you, and they are so cute.
#2. I saw Disney's Cinderella when I was little and I was hooked. To me, Jacques and Gus were the stars of the movie. I was determined to have little mouse friends like Cinderella had. Of course, when I finally got my first mouse, I was pretty disappointed to discover that he wouldn't wear clothes. In fact, he hated them! Oh well. I still loved him.
#3. I have drawn little mice and made up stories about them since I was about ten, so I think they must have something to do with my creative muse. Mouse… muse…? Hmmm…
#4. And of course, my first book is about an amazing, musical mouse. ANGUS MACMOUSE BRINGS DOWN THE HOUSE was published by BloomsburyUSA in 2010. More about Angus MacMouse later, I promise.
Well, I am looking forward to having a lot of fun here. This is only the beginning!
