About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling lonely, struggling to connect with peers, or showing curiosity about how to care for others. This gentle story follows Mr. Putter, an elderly man who realizes that while his home is peaceful, it is also a bit too quiet. His decision to adopt an older shelter cat named Tabby is a beautiful masterclass in companionship and finding common ground. It is an ideal choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning about empathy and the quiet rewards of friendship. Parents will appreciate how it models the value of senior pets and celebrates a slower, more thoughtful pace of life. It provides a comforting space to discuss how we can make our own lives, and the lives of others, a little fuller through simple acts of kindness.
