5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless story... Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023 Verified Purchase Picture yourself sitting in front of the fireplace, reading to your sweet little (daughter, son, granddaughter, grandson...) Or maybe sitting on the front porch, in a swing, just you and your little one. This book is a story of a little girl who wants a kitty. What does she do to get that kitty? Who does she trust with her secrets? When you've finished the story, your little one will have something to think about and will learn from the book, without even knowing that they're learning because they've enjoyed listening to it so much. Pair the story with these beautiful illustrations and you have a book that will be requested over and over again. Classic, timeless and sweet... 5.0 out of 5 stars A gem of a children's book Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2023 Verified Purchase The author appears to be very in tune with children's experiences and desires, as this is a lovely true-to-life story of a child longing for a pet. It's also a subtle lesson for young people to trust their parents' love and understanding and about the value of friendships.

Author Information
Melissa Fowke, an American first-time author, decided to pursue her dream of writing a children's book based on her mother and father as children in Scotland. She is happily married to her husband Mike, living in California with their pets, Larry, Freddie and Ben. She is the youngest of 3 siblings. Her parents immigrated to the United States from Scotland in the 1950s and both instilled Scottish and Italian culture into her since she was a wee one. Her mother owned a fish 'n' chip / ice cream and candy shop in Broxburn and she used to tell Melissa the stories of her childhood. It is there where her mother met her father, John Dutton, a talented musician and member of the Blue Rhythm Orchestra, when she was older. They both had dreams of coming to America and eventually her father was sponsored by a nice couple from the states to become an American citizen in the 1950s. Her mother and father were married for 57 years and lived a beautiful love story building a life with family in America. Melissa hopes to keep their memory alive through Lucy's eyes as a child.
