Overview
An overeager boy and his skittish cat find new ways to connect in this humorous picture book about boundaries and personal space.
Arthur adores his cat. He’s wild about Zeffo. But Zeffo? Not so much. Arthur would love to brush Zeffo’s fur, turn him into Super Cat, and jump into the clouds. But Zeffo would love some space.
One day Arthur gives Zeffo a big hug—and owwww! Arthur cries, Zeffo runs away, and the days and nights pass. Maybe Arthur needs a new and different way to connect with his cat.
With hilariously outlandish—yet deeply relatable—scenes of a boy and his cat, author-illustrator Johan Leynaud shares a warm, lighthearted SEL story of friendship, boundaries, and personal growth. Like Arthur, young readers will discover how love can mean giving freedom instead of taking control.
