About this book

What makes home so special? For this wise cat and cheeky kitten, home means lots of different things: home is a fun place to play, home is where all their precious belongings are, home is somewhere to feel safe and warm after a busy day of adventuring... Finally, at the end of the day, the feline duo realise that home is simply being together.

This is a heart-warming, rhyming picture book for parents to share with toddlers. From playing together to cuddling on the sofa, little ones will be able to relate to the tender everyday moments they share with their loved ones.

Emma Dodd’s simple artwork oozes with love and emotion. Little fingers will enjoy touching the smooth gold foil details that feature on almost every page.

Perfect for bedtime, the pages start off vibrant with shades of pink, turquoise, and orange. Gradually, the colour palette changes into darker tones of indigo and navy as day falls into night.
