I’ve often thought that the old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” is especially true for a well-illustrated childrens’ book. Some artists just seem to have a way of capturing deep emotions, and Holly Hobbie does it masterfully in A cat named Swan.
Aimed at ages 3 to 7, this book chronicles the story of a rescue kitten’s adoption and the transformative happiness he brings to his family.
Hobbie’s beautiful watercolors capture the kitten’s hard life as a stray as well as the bliss he finds once he has found his forever home.
This is a terrific book to show young children about pet adoption and the power of unconditional love.
A cat names Swan is available from Amazon and anywhere books are sold.

Pictures are lovely, the story as it looks also. I will give it a try. Although Pet adoption as a big responsibility.

Sometimes, children’s books are a good read for adults.
