A gentle, unforgettable journey about belonging - for every child who ever felt a little different. The cat pondered and wondered: ""It just can't be! Everyone's a little odd - not just me!"" There's the tortoise that moves oh so slow, and the sloth whose energy is surprisingly low. The peacock is incredibly proud, some might say, while the beaver can stay in its dam all day. A salmon swims upstream with a jump, while the camel can't see its very own hump. Maor Cohen sometimes considers himself somewhat of an ""odd bird"", perhaps even an ""odd cat"". It's those feelings that led him to write this book, celebrating the odd. The Cat and the Kids starts by focusing on a group of children on a fieldtrip, and soon takes a surprising turn when the focus shifts to... a cat! This book is mostly for children; however, it can also be suitable for older readers who might find the book's messages appealing. Maor has a B.A. in psychology and sociology, and an M.A. in social work. What readers say about the book: ""This is a lovely and sweet children's book, it's amusing and pleasantly written, and has melodic and well-paced rhymes."" ""An interesting story that starts one way and then develops into another, surprising and intriguing."" ""The book appeals to children and describes interesting experiences and problems that concern everyone, all wrapped up in magical and communicative language.""
