By Susin Nielsen, Vivian Mineker (Illustrator)
Two cats bridge a language gap to form an unexpected friendship.
Leonard, a lonely cat, longs for companionship while his human is away. When Mariposa, a new cat in town, crosses his path, they embark on adventures despite their language barrier. As they explore the city, Leonard and Mariposa discover that friendship transcends words, finding a place where all cats and their humans are welcome. Can their bond overcome the challenges of communication, or will their differences keep them apart?
In this sweet and affirming picture book, two cats discover they don’t need to share a language to become friends. Leonard adores his human. “Stay! Let’s play!” he says when it’s time to leave for work. His human just hears “Meow.” Sometimes Leonard gets lonely. So does Mariposa, who is new in town. Maybe they could keep each other company? “Hello,” says Leonard. “Hola,” says Mariposa. While the friends don’t share a language, they do share adventures. And together they find a place where all cats–and their humans–are welcome.
