An extraordinary read with layers, depth, and lessons. The story is told from a Dr. Seuss style in cat-ese paired with amazing artwork. In a nutshell: It is a tale of bravery, loyalty, sixth sense, hope, and resilience. A lovely adventure for all ages. If you ever face a challenge--any kind--you'll learn the importance of fate, patience, and following your heart. Speaking of heart, yes, the author faces a serious heart problem caused by a genetic factor--and the ending will forever warm your heart and show you the power of will.
