Dear Stray - Hardcover
by Kirsten Hubbard (Author), Susan Gal (Illustrator)
A prickly kitten and the child who chooses it revel in being kindred spirits while they both learn how to live with their wild side.
When a little girl adopts a tigerish stray kitten from the shelter, her family isn't sure about her choice. But she can see that she and the kitten have lots in common as they both have a tendency to lash out when they're uncomfortable. The little girl does her best to be patient and give her kitten plenty of space, treating it the way she likes to be treated. And in doing so, somehow they figure out just the right ways to help calm each other. A poignant text and evocative art make this story about two friends who share the heart of a tiger a standout.Kirsten Hubbard (kirstenhubbard.com) also wrote the middle grade novels Watch the Sky, Race the Night, and the Secrets of Topsea series (as Kir Fox with M.
