An unforgettable tour of France
The cat and the old woman have lived happily
together for many years in the stone house by the sea. But
when the old woman dies, the cat is packed up with her belongings
and sent north to the village where she was born. Soon he
is forgotten. He walks the streets aimlessly until, spurred
by memories and a longing to return to the place he knows
and loves, the cat embarks on a journey to find the home he
was taken away from.
In lyrical prose and breathtaking images,
Kate Banks and Georg Hallensleben take the reader on a journey
across the Norman countryside, past ancient ruins, through
bustling cities, to the sparkling ports of the Mediterranean
Sea and a place the cat can call home.
Kate Banks and Georg Hallensleben
are the author and artist of several picture books for children,
including And If the Moon Could Talk, winner of the
Boston Globe-Horn Book Award; The Night Worker,
winner of the Charlotte Zolotow Award; and Baboon.
Ms. Banks lives in the South of France, and Mr. Hallensleben
lives in Paris, France.
