This nearly wordless book uses onomatopoeia and strikingly bold illustrations to tell the story of a homeless cat who finally finds a home.
Aram Kim is a New York-based illustrator who has received awards and recognition for her work in both the U.S. and South Korea, where she grew up. She holds a bachelor's degree in English literature from Yonsei University in Seoul and a master of fine arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Cat on the Bus is her first picture book.
"First-time author-illustrator Kim combines pastels and colored
pencils digitally to create clean, spare illustrations. . . . The
simple story comes to a very happy ending, with the clever closing
endpapers showing human footprints alongside the paw prints."—Horn
Book Magazine
"This sweet, nearly wordless tale is likely to find an appreciative
audience among cat lovers and children just beginning to sound
words out on their own."—Kirkus Reviews
"Kim makes a solid debut with this story of an endearingly dogged
feline . . . the pictures do the heavy lifting, and Kim— who works
in generously scaled, clearly delineated shapes— creates a sense of
momentum through imaginative framing"—Publishers Weekly
