A lively, loving child is taught
a thing or two about boundaries by his very own special, most particular cat in
this picture book illustrated by the three-time NYT Best Illustrated
recipient Remy Charlip. It was awarded a Moonbow Best Children’s Book of
2023.
This is a story about a boy and
his very own, special, particular, private, and personal cat — a cat he orders
around, puts on his lap, and even dresses up and tucks into bed! But the cat
has other plans, and its very own special, particular, private, and
personal inner life. After all, everyone knows that you can't ever really own a
cat... The story's climax, warm and friendly, yet firm, is all about how to
claim the space we each need for ourselves. Many children and adults have
undoubtedly felt just as this cat does!
Designed and illustrated by the
prolific and visionary Remy Charlip, this picture book is about boundaries and
independence, identity and belonging, friendship and respect—all told through a
playful and witty text from Sandol Stoddard Warburg.
