A family of field mice work day and night, gathering provisions for the coming winter. As they busily collect and store wheat, nuts and corn, they reproach Frederick for dreaming the lazy summer away. But during the long cold winter, when all their stores have been used up, Frederick proves to his friends that he has done his share.

While the other field mice work to gather grain and nuts for winter, Frederick sits on a sunny rock by himself. ';I gather sun rays for the cold dark winter days,' he tells them. Another day he gathers ';colors,' and then ';words.' And when the food runs out, it is Frederick, the dreamer and poet, whose endless store of supplies warms the hearts of his fellow mice, and feeds their spirits during the darkest winter days. Frederick's story will warm readers as well in this Caldecott Honor winning fable.Now available as an eBook.
