About the Book

Prepare to embark on a mesmerizing journey into the enchanting world of Palouse Manor, where an extraordinary tale of friendship, courage, and the remarkable connection between humans and animals unfolds. In this heartwarming story, you'll meet the Smithsonian cats, a clan of fluffy white feline guardians who valiantly protect the manor from mice and rodents. Yet, there's one exceptional mouse who defies the norm - Tigger.

At the heart of this captivating narrative is Olivia, the cherished only child of Palouse Manor. Olivia possesses a rare and wondrous gift, known as Newair. Newair enables her to hear the voices of animals as they ride the winds, and it allows her to communicate with them in a language known only to a select few. But there's a catch - Olivia must choose to listen.

Within Palouse Manor, a sacred covenant is upheld by the Smithsonians, who vow never to take the life of any mouse or rat that finds its way inside. Instead, these tiny intruders are granted notice and time to leave the manor of their own accord. They are free to make their homes in the sprawling fields that surround the estate.

Enter Tigger, a pint-sized mouse, no bigger than a pea, who ventured into the manor with his devoted mother, Jacqueline. Their presence marked an exceptional departure from tradition, as they became the first mice to be granted residence within the manor's walls.

Jacqueline, however, was no ordinary mouse. She had captured Olivia's heart and was, in fact, the girl's favorite pet, sharing that special place in her heart with Smidge, the lovable mangalitsa pig. Jacqueline enjoyed a year of blissful existence in the manor before Misty, one of the vigilant Smithsonian cats, uncovered her secret.

Misty's discovery sent shockwaves through the feline protectors. She launched a relentless campaign to oust Jacqueline, deploying mouse traps, poisonous pellets, and even calling in an exterminator. Panic swept through the manor as the Smithsonians, driven by a deep sense of urgency, sought to save Jacqueline from impending danger.

But Jacqueline was unwavering in her resolve. She refused to leave the manor, for she couldn't bear the thought of exposing her beloved son, Tigger, to the perils of life in the fields - a life fraught with danger from snakes, tomcats, and the menacing barn owls. Jacqueline knew this danger all too well, having lost Tigger's father, Jonathan, to the harsh realities of field life.
