No Customer Reviews
Forward! Further! Faster!
The email had arrived late the night before: there would be no school today. With Mama working from home and no play-date or outing to be had, Em is left with a very tempting choice: several blissful hours of screen.
They couldn't have been more thrilled.
But just as their favourite show begins, something furry and feline, mysterious and mischievous arrives sending their plans for a relaxing day out the window-literally!
To get back to their devices, Em must embark on an exciting journey- floating and falling, freediving and flying-all to get back to a place they've never been before.
Packed with 94 pages of larger than life illustrations and non-stop action, Em and the Cat is an exuberant adventure that creates space for growth in the expansive universe of the imagination.
Recommended for Gr K-5 as a read along and 1-4 as an independent read, ages 4-8 will enjoy this exuberant adventure. "This beautiful book has many important lessons woven throughout its fun, imaginative storyline. Topics of race, gender, parent-child relations and the everyday tension over kids and screens, all pop up as the gorgeous black and non-binary central character, Em, goes on an adventure chasing a magical cat." "Em is adorable, relatable, so expressive. A lot of kids who aren't represented in books often enough may see a beautiful reflection of themselves in Em's colour, hair, gender, or body shape. This is such a gift of a book."
