The Mouse and His Child - 2001 First Edition

This handmade journal is created from a 2001 first printing of The Mouse and His Child by Russell Hoban, the Newbery Medal–winning classic illustrated by David Small. The soft green cover with its tender vignette of the marching toy mice captures the heart of this unforgettable story about independence, devotion, and finding your place in the world.

A selection of original chapters from the novel are thoughtfully preserved throughout the journal, interwoven with fresh blank pages for writing. As you turn each page, moments from the beloved tale appear gently between spaces for reflection, creative writing, or everyday notes. It creates a reading and writing experience that feels like a quiet conversation between past and present.

Each journal is individually handcrafted through careful cutting, binding, and assembly, transforming this award winning children’s book into a one of a kind keepsake. No two journals are ever identical, making each piece a unique blend of literature, art, and craftsmanship designed for collectors, readers, and dreamers alike.

This is available WITH or WITHOUT dust jacket as the cover option.  
Adhering dust jacket is an additional $5, please leave comment in order notes.
