Violet Comes to Stay, with a story by Melanie Cecka, illus. by Emily Arnold McCully, was inspired by bestselling adult author Jan Karon's novels in the Mitford series (see Children's Bookshelf, Sept. 21). That series features a main character named Cynthia Coopersmith, who is an author and illustrator of children's books starring her cat, Violet. Karon handpicked Cecka and McCully to launch this first title in a planned series. Here, the title white kitten wreaks havoc in a nursery and a bakery ("Don't worry," says mother cat, "God has a plan for each of us") before finding the right home.
