Bookroo's summary

Maya is determined to help a mysterious cat find its home amidst the rain-soaked rooftops. Despite her creative attempts to lure it down, the cat remains elusive, jumping back to its perch. As the rain pours and the city lights twinkle, Maya wonders which window belongs to the cat. Can she uncover the secret of where it truly belongs? This whimsical tale of adventure and discovery invites readers to join Maya on her heartfelt mission, where the unexpected awaits at every turn.

From the publisher

Where does Cat live, and who can lead the way there? A lyrical, charmingly offbeat tale about wanderlust and family, rescue and finding home. On a roof, as wet as a seal, as gray as a puddle, Cat was rumbling, a rumbly purr. What will lure Cat down? Feather boas? Pretty pink shoelaces? A boatful of fish under a tiny tin sail? Maya finally succeeds, only to watch Cat jump on the roof again, above a thousand lit windows, one of which must be Cat’s own. As the rain keeps coming down, how can Maya help Cat find its home? With whimsical watercolors both fluid and full of expression, Caroline Magerl portrays a child on a mission and an adventurous cat who keeps its mysteries as quiet as its paws in a story that follows a kindly impulse to an unexpected conclusion.
