The Mouse Who Couldn't Eat Cheese
by M B Mooney
emotional
hopeful
informative
inspiring
lighthearted
reflective
medium-paced
Wanted to rate this 5 stars, but after doing some digging on the illustrator (Ekaterina Mironova), who isn’t credited anywhere except in the legal notice (which I found sus), I’ll have to rate it less, unfortunately. It turns out they're a GenAI user and it’s hard to tell whether GenAI (aka art theft) was involved in the process of these illustrations.
What's even more sus: neither the author nor the publisher (Yorkshire Publishing) have it listed on their website. Is it supposed to be some secret book until the release date or what exactly is going on here?

As for the story:
Wonderful!
A friendship between a mouse and an owl that already started with differences (Alex likes to zip and zoom in the air, while Maya likes to leap and jump through grass), though they managed to have fun together doing these activities without any problems.
And while Maya’s sickness caused a bit of a misunderstanding, they talked about it, resolved it pretty quickly, and then found something to have fun together with, which fits Maya’s needs. So sweet I shed a tear.
Perfect for children – and adults alike – to learn about disabilities and inclusion.
I’ve never heard of Crohn’s disease actually, so it’s cool how there’s a short description at the end (and Maya explaining it to Alex).

Thank you to the author on BookSirens for an eARC. The book is set to be released on June 24, 2025.
