A Kitten Called Moonlight

Reach for this book when your child needs the quiet reassurance of a 'safe' world or is asking to hear the story of their own arrival into the family. It is a perfect selection for those nights when the weather is stormy outside and you want to create a cocoon of warmth and security within your home. This gentle story follows a mother and daughter as they cozy up to retell the memory of how they found their beloved cat, Moonlight, on a cold and rainy night. Waddell captures the magic of shared family history and the profound bond between humans and animals. Through this 'story within a story' structure, the book models how we use narratives to process scary things, like storms or being alone, and turn them into memories of kindness. It is ideal for children ages 3 to 7 who thrive on repetition, soft pacing, and the comfort of knowing that help is always on the way.
