Santa Mouse is a children’s book character written by Michael Brown and illustrated by Elfrieda De Witt. Originally published in 1966, Santa Mouse embarks on holiday-themed adventures as “Santa’s littlest helper” with a big heart as he shares his cheese after realizing no one gives Santa gifts on Christmas. The books are written for an audience of primarily four to eight-year-olds with parents and grandparents passing down the beloved story. Brown wrote his final Santa Mouse book in 2011 before passing in 2014. New Santa Mouse adventures were published in 2021, 2022, and 2024 in memory of Michael Brown and his little holiday helper.
