Hi, I’m Kat!

I am so delighted to see you here, and can’t wait to take you and your loved ones on a special journey, that will hopefully enrich your story time experience within the home, and enlighten your senses through playful language and meaningful messages.

Each character was developed and created with love and purpose, and all have a special role to play. Like each and every one of us, it is important to be kind as we move throughout our unique lives. Learn from each other, exercise acceptance, celebrate difference, look for opportunity in change, create happiness, and never give up on each other.

The Cat with no Tail

1st edition currently out of print

Limited first edition copies available via the following channels.

Meg is a cat who looks a little different… With her turned out feet and lack of a tail, she defies common stereotypes and expectations around physical appearance, and encourages young readers to rapport with those who might appear unique based on their race, cultural attire/traditional dress, and/or a physical disability. Dig a little deeper, and you’ll discover another poignant undertone to this story – one that touches on bullying, emotional neglect, and a burning desire for connection, a sense of ‘belonging’, and respect. Meg (who has sadly now passed), was Kat’s very own furry best friend, and she was loved and appreciated for her uniqueness within the family. Kat hopes that this story will not only delight her young readers (by demonstrating some of Meg’s quirks and endearing presence), but also encourage them to grow in confidence and self-esteem through understanding individual strength, purpose, and conscience.
