Pierre in Love

Pierre is a fisherman-rat in love with Catherine, the elegant ballet-teacher. He’s afraid to tell her how he feels, so he disguises himself and leaves her anonymous gifts. But Catherine has a secret, too: she’s also in love with someone she’s afraid to speak to…

Illustrated by Petra Mathers

Winner of the Golden Kite award (2008), an international children’s writing organization, to recognize excellence in children’s literature.

★ “A simple fisherman, Pierre the mouse is in love with Catherine the rabbit, a ballet teacher. But how can he hope to win one so fair? … The watercolors have a deceptive, childlike simplicity that draws in readers, with color, detail, and a warm expression of feelings.” —Booklist – Starred Review

“Pierre, a mouse who sails a fishing boat, is in love with Catherine, a ballet-teaching rabbit he glimpses from afar. She admires the dashing figure she sees from her window in the evening. Yet each is afraid to speak to the other … Mathers’s watercolors of the fishing village, in a palette of moody grays, blues, and purples, add a calming and whimsical touch.” — School Library Journal
