Description: "A little girl named Margaux has a big black cat named May. One day, May doesn't come home for dinner and, although the family looks and looks, they can't find her. Margaux's auntie helps in the search, but she can't stay long because she is packing to move to the city. Margaux will miss her auntie. She also misses May. Will May ever come home?"--

Review Quotes:
"A quiet book, one best suited for cozy evenings on the sofa, perhaps in the company of a friendly feline. Best of all, its focus on storytelling might have readers treasuring their own favorite stories of beloved pets, storing them up to share with someone else someday."
--BookPage

"Exceptional....A beautiful and touching story that can be enjoyed on many different levels."
--Youth Services Book Review

"The surprise ending satisfies, and so does its slow, thoughtful buildup....emotionally rich."
--Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

"Matilda and Sweetie fans will enjoy this lovely story....a fun book to share with young readers.... Should we put this on the top of our "to read" piles? Yes, especially if you're a cat lover."
--Youth Services Book Review, STARRED

"A quiet yet affectionate tribute to familial relationships of all stripes....Cat lovers... will particularly enjoy this sweet tale."
--Kirkus Reviews

"From a talented picture book creator....Readers can reflect on great stories of their own encounters with beloved animal friends and share their tales with others....delightful."
