And when an old man sits down beside her, the cat makes a friend for life– and finally finds the home she’s been searching for.A purr-fect pick for cat lovers, this heartwarming picture book features a simple text, heavy with onomatopoeia, and striking, bold illustrations that carry the story, depicting the charming cat’s range of emotions.  See how a simple act of kindness can change lives forever.  Young readers will empathize with the strong emotional content—hunger, loneliness, and rejection, giving way to contentment and joy—and delight in the expressive illustrations.
