Kitty Alone

By John M. Feierabend

Kitty Alone is the latest in a series of captivating picture books, each based on a beloved songtale from the great American folk music heritage. This beautifully illustrated version was conceived by illustrator Mina Echevarria, who suggested setting the song in the Appalachian Mountains and using a bobcat as the title character. Since they are rarely seen in the daytime, Appalachian locals refer to the bobcat as the "woods ghost." Here the illustrations create the ghostly bobcat in the evening darkness of the forest encountering several delightful friends. Also notice the red thread that appears throughout. Like the other picture books in the First Steps in Music series, Kitty Alone includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to download the song, sung by Jill Trinka, at no cost.
