The Cat Way 

by Sara Lundberg (Author), B.J. Woodstein (Translator)

Brief summary: Part 1: The person walks with the cat every day, always leading the way. The cat stops to play with a friend, but the human scares the friend away by stomping a foot. The feline asks, “Why are you always in charge?”

The cat leaves the human who stays outside looking all over for the cat. Frozen, the person goes home to find the cat.

Part 2: Today, the cat is in charge and takes the human on a little adventure into the woods. The cat shows the human a beautiful night sky before going home. They decide to compromise by taking turns who can be in charge of their walks.

Comments: The illustrations were created using gouache and watercolor.
