Autorentext

Torben Kuhlmann lives and works in Hamburg as a freelance children’s author and illustrator. He studied illustration and communications design at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. He wrote and illustrated his first picture book, Lindbergh: the Tale of a Flying Mouse, in 2012 as his final thesis, and it was published in 2014 by NordSüd Verlag. It quickly became a bestseller and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Three more mouse adventures followed and were equally successful. In 2024, the tenth anniversary was celebrated by the publication of Earhart, the fifth book in the series. However, a few mouse-free books have also crept into the repertoire during the last ten years, including Moletown and The Gray City.

Klappentext

**A jam-packed special edition of the best-selling first book in the Mouse Adventures series, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first Transatlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh.

"[A] beautifully rendered and well-thought-out picture book."
The New York Times Book Review**

One small step for a mouse; one giant leap for aviation.

These are dark times . . . for a small mouse. A new invention—the mechanical mousetrap—has caused all the mice but one to flee to America, the land of the free. But with cats guarding the steamships, trans-Atlantic crossings are no longer safe. In the bleakest of places . . . the one remaining mouse has a brilliant idea. He must learn to fly!

Torben Kuhlmann’s inventive tale and stunning illustrations have captured the imagination of readers—young and old—with the death-defying feats of this courageous young mouse for over a decade. No reader will want to miss this special edition, featuring a fabric patch, a new cover, two new illustrations, and a celebratory foreword by the author.
