On the Mat Outside My Door
Online
An oversized, cheeky rat has moved in with our protagonist. She whistles along with the radio, sits in the fridge, splashes in the tub, and is simply everywhere – loud, pesky, full of life. When she suddenly disappears, he realizes: it’s never been this quiet – or this empty.

Nadia Budde is a world-renowned illustrator who has established a very unique style. Her quirky, lovable characters exude a charm that easily appeals to all age groups. With "On The Mat Outside My Door" she has crafted a story that is both unbeatably funny and emotionally touching. This wonderful, briskly rhymed story and its characters are full of wit and offer tremendous fun for both children and adults. Beyond the hilarious situations, there's a deeply touching level and a serious message, told charmingly and with great sensitivity.
