THE TINY THING will introduce you to a shy mole who stumbles upon a tiny thing when he is out walking one autumn day. He brings it to his burrow and immediately sets out to make it feel at home. Mole finds an imaginary friend in the tiny thing and soon he feels brave enough to share secrets, (“I’m afraid of loud noises”), tell stories using silly voices, and sing songs loudly and out of tune. Mole finds his life forever changed by the power of friendship, imagination, and finding self-confidence in this tender and enchanting picture book. 

A cheerful tale of growth, starring an endearing and unique pair of friends. - Kirkus, September 2026
