The Boy Who Drew Cats: A Japanese Folktale


Overview

A beloved Japanese folktale retold by Lafcadio Hearn and brought vividly to life by artist Anita Kreituse. What are they going to do with that boy? A large farm family has been cursed: they have a son with artistic talent! Yet it's a very specific calling: he's obsessed with drawing cats. When they pack him off to the temple for some serious monk training, his doodling only increases. But talent and fortitude save the day. Threatened by a ferocious rat goblin, his fantastic felines come to life in the night and defend their creator. These artsy kittens have real claws! A powerful testament to being yourself and finding your true calling, The Boy Who Drew Cats will delight children and adults. Lafcadio Hearn's classic retelling finds the perfect pairing in TK's fabulous and whimsical artwork.
