Little Mouse

Alison Murray

Little Mouse can waddle like a penguin, eat like a horse and splash like a whale. So why does her mother call her Little Mouse? Because, sometimes, it’s nice to be quiet and cosy, especially when it’s time to cuddle with your mum. Alison Murray, working with Scottish Booktrust as their first writer-in-residence, has created this engaging and heart-warming story about the relationship between a little girl and her mother. ‘Delightfully illustrated…a warm and wonderful premise.’ Junior Magazine ‘Engaging and heart-warming. Lovely for story-times and bestime reading.’ Peters Gazette

Alison Murray

Alison Murray grew up in Lanarkshire near Glasgow and studied Textile Design at Glasgow School of Art. After graduating she moved to London and worked in a variety of jobs including bookseller and rug designer before completing a MA in Design for Interactive Media at Middlesex University. She then co-founded, created and built a successful Interactive Media company and sold it before moving back to Scotland. Alison has now found her niche, writing and illustrating children’s picture books. Her first book was the highly-acclaimed Apple Pie ABC, closely followed by One, Two That’s My Shoe!, both published by Orchard and both featuring her characters, Georgie and Grace. Hickory Dickory Dog features Zac and Rufus and a rather unusual day at school! Alison became Scottish Book Trust’s first Writer-in-Residence. As part of her residency, she developed a book, Little Mouse, with a group of parents involved in the Home-Start scheme which was published by Orchard. Alison lives in Glasgow with her husband, her daughter and their dog.
