Description

Celebrated artist Isabelle Arsenault joins forces with author Jonathan Stutzman for an enchanting tale about the expansive power of generosity. Vincent was a mouse with boots on his feet, a hat on his head, and a house on his back. When an ordinary spot on a grassy hill calls out to him, Vincent puts down the house he carries on his back and knows he’s where he needs to be.

As hungry and tired travellers pass by, Vincent welcomes them into his home, making room for everyone. And even when it seems that the house is as full as it possibly can be, there is no woodland animal too big or too scary – not a ravenous cat, nor a fox, nor a whole herd of deer – that Vincent would turn it away from his warm, magical home on the hill. Jonathan Stutzman’s charming voice is enhanced by the elegant, inventive die-cut art of three-time Governor General’s Award winner Isabelle Arsenault in this classic tale of a generous little mouse with a special house and an ever-expanding heart.

Business with purpose
Since Bookspeed began, a lot has changed. Annie and Kingsley have handed over the Bookspeed reins to their son Lewis Dawson, who oversees more than 70 members of staff, based in premises in Edinburgh’s Leith district.

However, many things have stayed the same. Bookspeed is still an independent business, honouring those founding principles of inclusivity, respect, openness and responsibility. We seek to care for the people we work with, and who work for us, and take our responsibility to minimise our impact on the environment seriously.

We still live up to our name, always striving to respond to customers' needs with efficiency and speed.
