A mouse. A wink. A journey home.
 
When a humble boatbuilder spares the life of a tiny mouse, something awakens. The mouse winks—and Woody’s world quietly shifts. Haunted by the memory and drawn to the stillness he felt in that moment, Woody begins to see life through new eyes.
 
Guided by a mysterious return of the mouse, Woody is shown how to navigate life’s deeper currents—not with tools of the trade, but with tools of the heart. What unfolds is a story of energy, awakening, and the surprising power of kindness.
A gentle allegory for all ages, The Mouse That Winked reminds us that freedom begins not with force, but with the power of love—and that sometimes, the smallest beings carry the biggest truths.
