Joey the Kangaroo Cat


Book Description

Joey is a cat born without front legs who learns that he can do everything the other animals in his home can do, he just has to do them in his own way. In addition to telling a compelling story, this book has two goals: 1) teach children who have disabilities or otherwise feel different that they can still forge incredible paths, and 2) illustrate a story that most families, regardless of their backgrounds, can empathize with. The authors tested what every page would look like for various forms of colorblindness. They also included cat-inspired renditions of famous paintings, a book on almost every page, and questions to get children excited about art and reading.
