Frédéric is a classic children's story by Leo Lionni that tells the story of a field mouse who, instead of collecting provisions for the winter like the others, dedicates himself to collecting sunbeams, colors, and words. When winter arrives and the provisions run out, Frédéric shares his memories of summer, comforting his companions and demonstrating the value of art and poetry. A delightful story about the importance of creativity and imagination.
