Claris: The Chicest Mouse in Paris by Megan Hess

In rhyming text and distinctively stylish illustrations, Megan Hess' debut children's book is a charming tale of compassion and ambition. Claris is a kindhearted country mouse who longs to move to Paris to fulfill her dreams in fashion. And with one great leap onto a golden hot air balloon, she is whisked off to a new life in Paris. A wish almost fulfilled..for her new home includes a mean little girl and a scary looking cat. Claris uses her wits to overcome these obstacles and finds an unlikely companion.

Always posing and ready for the runway, Claris is the depiction of grace and elegance, especially in her mouse couture-très chic indeed! International fashion illustrator Megan Hess applies her signature style and flair to a new series for younger readers. To create her artwork, she uses a custom Montblanc fountain pen for inking and colours painted digitally or with gouache. Claris is pretty in pink on the cover accented with textured paper, a gold bordered design and gilded edges. Recommended for ages 3+.
