"Song For A Stray Kitty" ~ A Book For Kids & Cat Lovers Everywhere.

Inspired by my beloved little cat Begonia Coconut, “Song For A Stray Kitty” is the heart-warming and hilarious true story of how two lives changed forever after a very lucky chance meeting.

Suitable for children aged between 3-7, the book contains delightful hand-painted illustrations, colouring pages, a writing activity and of course the Stray Kitty Song.

BACKGROUND:

When I was a child my favourite book was Tinker The Kitten. I would read it over and over again, gazing at the beautiful illustrations of Tinker in funny situations and I wanted to create a book that children could connect with in the same way.

It wasn’t planned, but I seem to have integrated my entire past life in one children’s book. My Fine Art training, years as a designer, writer, singer and teacher have all come together in a silly kitty song, and combined with the personalised hand-drawn illustrations, I hope I’ve created an intimate connection with ‘My Tinker’ that stays in the hearts of children forever.

EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS:

They are built in, as the the verses are written in the rhythm of spoken English - very helpful if your child is learning English as a second language and there are lots of high frequency words and sounds to help them with vocabulary and in their conversational development.

The colouring pages help the development of concentration and fine motor skills and the writing activity will stimulate their imagination and creative writing.

MOST IMPORTANTLY:

It’s for fun. It’s for singing and giggling and colouring.

CONNECT:

Please send photos of your finished verses to my facebook page or through the comments on my blog and I will publish them on my website for everyone to share and enjoy.
