Synopsis
A calico cat, about to give birth to kittens, seeks the help of a hound dog in this story set in the East Texas Bayou. When the mother cat is killed, it is up to the hound dog to raise and protect the young kittens--even after further tragedy seemingly separates them forever. A 2009 Newbery Honor Book, this charmer was also a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award in the Young People's Literature category.

Industry Reviews
"Joining Natalie Babbitt's TUCK EVERLASTING as a rare example of youth fantasy with strong American underpinnings, Appelt's novel folds in specific traditions of the Caddo peoples of east Texas, and casts the bayous as a kind of enchanted forest laden with spirits and benign, organic presences."
(05/15/2008)
"[T]his fine book is most of all distinguished by the originality of the story and the fresh beauty of its author's voice--a natural for reading aloud."
