About this ebook
This joyous celebration of a cat’s journey after a happy life on Earth by the Newbery Medalist “will kindle sighs even from the feline-indifferent” (Kirkus Reviews).
“The way to Cat Heaven is a field of sweet grass, where crickets and butterflies play!” With a gentle, playful rhyme, Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant explores all the ways our beloved cats enjoy Cat Heaven, as she did for dogs in the–bestselling companion book, Dog Heaven. Her shining artwork illustrates a world of peace for cats in Heaven, where no tree is too tall for exploring, where there is no lack of angels’ laps for sleeping. If your child wonders where his or her kitty goes after a happy life on Earth, they can rest assured that all cats “know where the angel cats fly. They’ll run past the stars and the moon and the sun . . . to curl up with God in the sky.”
“The visual impact of the book is stunning . . . Whether read as a story to younger children or used in a discussion of the nature of heaven with older ones, this deceptively simple, sweet book is rewarding.” —School Library Journal

This book is an excellent way to help kids understand where kitties go when they die. We lost our cat today and this book was the perfect way to explain it.
