"A powerful story" - Richard Comely, Author/Illustrator of over 13 books "The illustrations are the best I've ever seen [in digital art]" - R.R. Howroar - Author/reviewer "This would be a wonderful book to give a child… Dixie Albanez’s illustrations are wonderfully expressive. The cat has the mystery of ancient Egypt and the charm of a cuddle buddy." - Bonnie Ferrante - Author/Reviewer "Squire and Albanez work so well together in helping our children to believe in themselves." - Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite - 5 Star Award "This is a great book for kids [in a new environment]. It will help them understand what to do if they feel alone and scared. It’s not easy and they’ll know there really won’t be a magical cat to help them but they will learn that its about self confidence and friendship. The illustrations by Dixie Albanez are also excellent. The bright ,bold colorful pictures do an excellent job conveying the children’s emotions."- Dick Leonardo - Bookroom Reviews Also see: Isecas the Dream Cat and the Tides of Change
