About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels misunderstood because of their unique interests or when they are facing a daunting physical challenge. It tells the story of Henry, a sassy Siamese cat with the unusual ability to walk on his hind legs, who gets left behind at a snowy mountain cabin. Rather than waiting to be rescued, Henry uses his special talent and a pair of handmade skis to trek across the wilderness back to his family. This classic adventure is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are developing their own sense of independence and self-reliance. It subtly reinforces that the traits that make us 'weird' to others are often the very strengths that save us in a crisis. Parents will appreciate the cozy winter atmosphere and the way it models problem-solving without being overly preachy.
