Grisela is a touching fable about the importance of accepting oneself with all one's virtues and flaws. The protagonist, a little mouse who feels sad because of her grey fur, tries to change her appearance by painting herself in various colors, but soon discovers that true happiness does not lie in external appearances, but in self-acceptance. This work, written by Anke de Vries and illustrated by Willemien Min, is an ideal picture book for young readers, inviting them to reflect on identity and overcoming teasing.
