About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is begging for a pet or struggling to understand why 'no' doesn't always mean 'never.'

Despite his mother's initial reluctance and the family dog's skepticism, the kitten's persistent charm and Avi's gentle patience eventually win everyone over. It is a perfect choice for children aged 3 to 8, offering a soft landing for discussions about empathy, the responsibility of pet ownership, and the beauty of welcoming a new member into the family. Parents will appreciate how it models respectful persistence and compassionate care for animals in need.
