When a whimsical moon mouse named A. Nonny embarks on a journey to Earth to find a MERRY CHRISTMAS in a box for his friend's birthday, he discovers that the true magic of Christmas lies in love and selflessness.

"A. Nonny Mouse" is a whimsical and heartwarming tale that blends fantasy and adventure with the genuine spirit of Christmas. Ideal for young readers and families, this book transports audiences between the Moon and Earth during the festive holiday season, offering a magical story infused with valuable moral lessons.

The narrative introduces A. Nonny, a moon mouse feeling left out without a moonball. Granted magical powers by a Fairy Moon Mouse, A. Nonny initially uses his abilities to show off, creating friction with friends like B. Infa. A challenge from G. Teeny—to bring a "MERRY CHRISTMAS in a box" without magic—sends A. Nonny on an extraordinary journey to Earth. Here, he learns about Christmas traditions from two children, Bob and Trina. Through a frightening encounter with a cat and his interactions with the children, A. Nonny discovers that a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" is a heart full of love, something that cannot be boxed.

His selflessness, demonstrated by using his last wish to gift Bob and Trina presents, leaves him stranded on Earth. However, this act prompts the Fairy Moon Mouse to bring him back to the Moon. The story culminates in A. Nonny's warm return, a reconciliation with B. Infa, and a celebration emphasizing love, friendship, and selflessness, beautifully symbolized by the Star of Hope. This tale is a perfect read for families, reminding us all of the true meaning of the Christmas season.
