Overview

"Black as night with eyes of green, a kitten hidden sleeps unseen.

In the shadows left behind, he dreams the home he longs to find."

Told in verse, this heartwarming story follows a barn kitten who explores the California redwoods to find the perfect home. Along the way, the curious kitten meets all sorts of creatures in their homes, from croaking frogs to a growling bear! But none of their homes feel quite right for a kitten.
