Lilly, who is used to being the brightest and loudest mouse around, also has to get used to sharing the spotlight with a new baby brother in Omaha Theater Company's charming adaptation of Kevin Henkes' award-winning children's book.

Gripped with anger after losing her purple plastic purse that plays music, Lilly draws a mean portrait of Mr. Slinger and hides it in his book bag. But when she gets her purse back and opens it outside of school, she finds a surprising note.

Recommended for grades pre-K-3.
