About Anne and Mouse Town
In 2016, Anne L. Watson fell in love with felted mice by Bulgarian artist Diyana Stankova. Anne happened to be working on a housekeeping almanac, so she started photographing the mice, posing them in scenes with miniatures in dollhouses, to illustrate the book. Soon she was writing little stories about the mouse family, while learning to use Photoshop to manipulate their poses and composite their props and settings, sometimes from scratch.
As Anne added more mice and other felted animals from Diyana and other artists, Mouse Town began to take shape. As might be expected, these adorable but pushy critters eventually demanded their own books, and Anne obliged with the Katie Mouse series.
Besides her children’s books, Anne writes literary novels and how‑to books for grown‑ups, on such subjects as housekeeping, soapmaking, and baking with cookie molds. She lives in Bellingham, Washington, with her husband and fellow author, Aaron Shepard, and a growing family of critters.

Mama Mouse was so excited, she nearly dropped her phone. “It’s Cousin Matilda. She’s going to marry Alexander!”
“It’s about time,” said Papa Mouse, looking up from his breakfast.
“Of course you can stay here!” Mama was saying into the phone. “A June wedding in the park! That’s perfect!”
When Mama hung up, Katie asked, “Will Dylan and I get to go?”
“Of course,” Mama said. “In fact, Matilda would like you to be her flower mouse. Would you like that?”
“Oh, yes!” Katie’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “When is it?”
“The day before your school Games Day. And Dylan will be the ring bearer!”
“I no bear!” said Dylan.
