Melvin說：「最初在外面畫畫時我的狀態不很穩定，坐在戶外完全脫離了從前的插畫工作，與我的速寫本度過一天天。在大自然中繪畫和靜坐的過程，我逐漸找到了回到更平靜的位置與方法，重新找到了我的創作力量。Mouse's Wood 是集結這些寫生的巔峰之作，也是對在我最需要它們時，支撐著我的綠野力量。」

Written with a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse’s rambling journey, and illustrated in Alice Melvin’s inimitable style, Mouse’s Wood is a heartwarming celebration of slow living in nature. This beautifully designed book also features special die-cut flaps and includes a spread featuring a nature calendar of plants, birds, and animals for children to search for in the wild.

Mouse first ventures out in wintry January to visit his friend Squirrel. Mouse moves on to wake up Hedgehog for the arrival of spring, and as he continues along the path in the wood, Mouse’s journey from friend to friend maps out the changes in seasons from January through to December.
