Description

A joyful story inspired by a Japanese folktale about sharing, kindness, and mouse-sized magic. Join storyteller, Steffani Raff for songs, laughter, and mindful moments that help kids relax, imagine, and remember that kindness always rolls back to you.

Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together:
1) Wiggle your nose, roll your arms and make your best squeaky laugh with your child.
2) Sniff the air like a little mouse with your child.
3) Model the circle breathing technique for your child so they understand it.
4) Show your child how to tap their cheeks.
