The Mice, the Cat, and the Alebrije

Mousetepec is full of music, color, and alegría until a terrifying cat’s shadow falls across the city. As fear spreads, fiestas are canceled and the mercado grows quiet. Vida and her brother Máximo know their town needs help, and a dream of a brilliant alebrije gives them the spark for a brave plan. Their story becomes a fable about facing what frightens you without losing joy. Inspired by Mexican folk art, Vida: The Mice, the Cat, and the Alebrije blends animal adventure, imaginative danger, and cultural detail. Duncan Tonatiuh’s distinctive illustrations make the city and its fantastic creature feel bold, magical, and full of life.
