Bookroo's summary

Shibu the cat wears his emotions on his tail, expressing every high and low. But when he notices other cats hiding their feelings, he wonders if he should do the same. Will Shibu choose to conform or embrace his unique way of navigating life's emotional rollercoaster? Discover a heartwarming journey of self-acceptance and the courage to be different.

From the publisher

A tale about a tail, and a cat with some VERY big feelings. Shibu the cat has a lot of feelings and thankfully his fluffy tail helps him express them all! But one day, Shibu realizes that all the other cats are keeping their feelings (and their tails) tucked away. Maybe it would be better to try and fit in? From two extraordinary debuts comes a delightful story on navigating life’s highs, lows, and all the big emotions in between.
