Reviews
The illustrations make beautiful use of light and dark to convey the difference between safe times and times of war. As a life-long companion to cats I can also confirm that they beautifully capture the movements and personalities of felines. This is a great read for empathy. It introduces the concept of war in a very accessible way. It is also a story of hope and love – that for every person affected by war, there will be a safe shelter.Louise Nettleton, https://bookmurmuration.com/the-little-war-cat/
