A heart-warming story of longing - and belonging - from the award-winning creators of One Day

A mouse who has only ever lived in his little house in a field contemplates the great migrations that other creatures make – geese flying home for the summer, arctic terns from one pole to the other, wildebeest moving over two countries, humans searching for sun in the winter. With a fear of missing out, mouse feels like he must embark on a journey of his own, only to find that his purpose and importance is right where he is.
