In a busy urban neighborhood, six very different individuals who
don't know each other have something in common: they all relish the
companionship of a friendly cat that roams the area. From a
librarian to a homeless war veteran to a little girl who's just
moved in, this cat makes everyone's world a little brighter, a
little less lonely.
Each neighbor is unaware of the cat's visits with everyone else, so
he goes by many different names: Stuart Little, Dove, Placido--the
cat answers to them all. Only when a near-accident threatens the
cat does everyone learn his true identity and owner. In learning
about each other, the people in the neighborhood come together as a
community.
THE CAT WITH SEVEN NAMES is a heartfelt story that reflects the
need and desire of all people to be a part of a community, to have
a connection with someone or something--be it animal or human. Told
from the perspective of each of the six neighbors, Tony Johnston
introduces point of view to readers of all ages, while Christine
Davenier's loose watercolor illustrations beautifully depict the
diversity of the world around us.
