"Black as night with eyes of green, a kitten hidden sleeps unseen.
In the shadows left behind, he dreams the home he longs to find."Told in verse, this heartwarming story follows a barn kitten who explores the California redwoods to find the perfect home. Along the way, the curious kitten meets all sorts of creatures in their homes, from croaking frogs to a growling bear! But none of their homes feel quite right for a kitten. Will he ever find a place he can call home?
This story invites children to think about animals and their habitats as well as what home means to each individual. The book is a fun STEAM teaching tool with reference back matter and an illustrated glossary about coastal redwoods and their inhabitants.
