SOCKSY: OPUS I: Marching to His Own Beat: The Story of Bob as Told by His Cat

by Emmie Rich, Robert Engel (Foreword), Iqra Jan (Illustrator)

Marching to His Own The Story of Bob as Told by His Cat is a lyrical, rhyming picture book narrated by Socksy, the self‑appointed maestro of a little green house in Montana. Through Socks’s humorous and heartfelt voice, young readers meet Bob — a gentle, silver‑haired Marine veteran whose life’s work is teaching music and caring for others.
The story follows Bob’s daily guiding adults who struggle to hear the difference between major and minor chords, playing Bach with feather‑light fingers, and sharing stories from his past with quiet humility. Socksy observes it all with a mix of affection and feline judgment.
