Henry’s Mysterious Voice

By Nancy L. Hurley and Kathleen Warno

Henry’s story can be anyone’s. It’s a tale of how to escape the humdrum of everyday life to venture out into the vast world outside of one’s own home. Sometimes, these adventures bring danger.

 

Henry is a cute, cuddly, little brown mouse who wants to be bold and adventurous. For years, he has listened to his “family’s” daily dinner table stories of what happened in their daily lives. Some of the stories are so delightful he begins thinking he wants to go out and have some of those happenings in his life.

 

The one thing Henry will need to learn is how to stay safe. As long as he remains in the Wilson home, he is protected. Outside, he doesn’t have that protection. Now he must fend for himself and keep himself safe. The question is will he be able to do this?

 

Once leaving his home, a new concern follows him. There is a mysterious voice following him everywhere he goes. It even talks to him seemingly with love and concern for him, or is it an unknown danger for him? Why did the voice choose him?

 

This is a must read to discover the unknown beauty of the world right outside our homes. Let’s leave the boredom of everyday life and go outside to discover what new possibilities there are to enjoy.
