Loved it!! Loved the story and illustrations. It’s really neat how it fits in all the pieces of Key West and how accurate the illustrations of Hemingway’s house and fence are.

This is a shockingly touching book, on par with - but much better than - works like The Ugly Duckling. Love love love.

Bravo! Such a heartwarming book with a positive message, and a great overview of Hemmingway cats.
