Igor and the Mending Mice

Igor and the Mending Mice is a funny and heartwarming picture book that celebrates creativity and shows children the joy of repairing and recycling, as a family of clever mice take on fast fashion and outsmart a bullying factory boss. In a town where fashion is everything and people only wear brand-new clothes, a family of industrious mice discover a different way forward. With nimble paws and clever ideas, they begin mending old and damaged clothes, stitching new life into once-forgotten favorites. Soon, their human neighbours are delighted to have wardrobes that are both beautiful and long-lasting. But not everyone is happy. Igor, the mean and miserly owner of the town’s fast-fashion factory, is furious as his business begins to lose money. Determined to put a stop to the meddling mice, he tries to outwit them. Can Igor squash their creativity, or will the mice’s resourceful nature inspire a change of heart (and business)? Through humor and heart, this story shows that small acts of creativity can make a big difference, while gently encouraging children to think about waste and sustainability. Igor and the Mending Mice is a joyful book that introduces children to the idea of 're-loving' their old clothes and inspires them to see the value in what they already have. Printed on recycled paper, it will delight young readers and reassure adults they are making a positive choice for the planet.
