Reviews

This heartfelt story about a little white cat who is coaxed in from the cold, is a gentle reminder that a simple act of compassion can bring joy to those who extend it as well as those who receive it. The writing is exquisite and perfectly matched by the charming images. The story of Little White is a treasure for both children and adults.- Joan Schweighardt is the author of Before We Died and five other novels. Her first children's book, No Time for Zebras, is forthcoming.
