About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling displaced by a sibling, struggling with their own identity, or simply needs a high-interest read to build confidence in their independent reading skills. Through the lens of a cranky cat who mistakenly believes she is a dog, the story explores the humor and absurdity of trying to be something you are not while navigating the chaos of a busy household. While the tone is hilariously irreverent, the book provides a safe space to discuss the stress of life changes and the importance of authenticity. Nick Bruel uses a blend of traditional text and comic panels that are perfect for 7 to 10 year olds who might be intimidated by long blocks of text. It is a fantastic choice for kids who need to see that even when they feel out of place, their unique strengths will eventually save the day.
