Bookroo's summary

A day-loving black cat and a night-loving white cat live in separate worlds. When curiosity drives them to explore beyond their routines, they meet for the first time. Their journey promises unexpected discoveries and a colorful surprise, challenging their opposite natures and sparking a unique friendship. What wonders await when day meets night?

From the publisher

Day and night, black and white—this playful tale of opposite personalities celebrates the adventure of sharing life’s discoveries with a friend.

Black Cat—black from the tips of his ears to the tip of his tail—only ever goes out in the day. But White Cat—white from her whiskers to her four furry paws—only ever goes out at night. He picks daisies, while she gazes at the stars. When they both feel the urge to explore a world beyond their own, Black Cat and White Cat go on a journey of discovery and meet for the very first time. Vividly illustrated with bold black-and-white art, each page paves the way toward a surprise (and surprisingly colorful) ending.
