About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing their first taste of unfairness or needs a boost of confidence after being told they cannot do something. It is a perfect choice for the young dreamer who feels like an underdog or is struggling to find their place in a group. Through the story of Danny, a cat who travels to Hollywood only to be told that animals can only make animal noises, this chapter book tackles the sting of being underestimated and the importance of self-worth. It emphasizes that while one person's jealousy can be a roadblock, the power of a supportive community can overcome even the most daunting obstacles. The tone is energetic and hopeful, making it an excellent bridge for 7 to 10 year olds who are transitioning into longer stories but still need a narrative that feels vibrant and accessible. Parents will appreciate the clear moral compass and the way it models standing up for oneself without losing one's kindness.
