A Native American boy's cat surprises him at his first powwow--making for a very special dance indeed

Loaf the cat loves to play with her boy, and when she's particularly happy, she'll make the purr sound for him. She also likes to keep tabs on him, so when he disappears one day, she decides to find him. She follows his smell to a place where there are drums and colors and lots of people--and then she's excited to see her boy dancing fast, making the ribbons on his regalia twirl beautifully When he takes a break, Loaf goes to greet him in her special way, making the powwow one her boy will never forget, and worthy of many purrs

Customer Reviews

Cute, Clever, and Heartwarming

This book is such a good find! It's cleverly written by the author and narrated fully from the cat's perspective. The illustrations are lovely and pairs effortlessly with the writing. There's something really heart warming about this book as well. It gives Indigenous Americans the representation that's needed and shares/displays such lovely things about their culture (from the boy's specific tribe/nation in this book). I love it overall and I'm giving it to my two nephews as a gift.
