Big Brother Mouse (Lao: ອ້າຍໜູນ້ອຍ / ອ້າຽໜູນ້ອຽ, romanized: ʼāi nū nǭi) is a not-for-profit publishing project in Laos.
Big Brother Mouse publishes books that improve literacy and quality of life; and on making those books accessible, particularly in rural Lao villages. Books are scarce in Laos. Many people have never read anything except old textbooks and government pamphlets.[1]
The project uses the slogan, "Books that make literacy fun!" Its first books, published in 2006, were easy picture books designed to have a strong appeal for children. Since then, it has expanded to publish books for all ages, "designed not only to make reading fun, but also to share information about the wider world."[2] A growing number of titles focus on health, nutrition, history, and science.
