Summary:

"A clowder of cats lives at the Rescue Cat Café, each distinct in look and personality and in need of a forever home. One sleeps in the sun, one winds around ankles, one is bold and adventurous ... but you won't see Mouse. He hides, watching the cafe with round green eyes. Day by day, visitors come to the café and, day by day, each cat goes home with a person who is just right for them. And every day, the café owner and her child are present. Like Mouse, the child is curious but shy. They watch the visitors come and go from behind their mum or safely tucked behind a book. They notice Mouse tucked away in his nook, hiding under a table, and playing with the feathers in a fancy lady's hat. And Mouse notices them, too. As the week passes, the child begins to come out of their shell, and Mouse's curiosity builds. On Sunday, when the child's yo-yo breaks and rolls across the floor, Mouse pounces-finally coming out of hiding to play. Before the shop owner and child close up that night, one final adoption takes place. If you peer into the window of the Rescue Cat Café, you won't see Mouse... because he's gone home."-- Provided by publisher.

    Spend the week at the Rescue Cat Café

    A whole clowder of cats resides at the Rescue Cat Café. Each cat is distinct in look and personality, and each is in need of a forever home. Handsome Henry sleeps in a sunbeam, mysterious Ming winds around ankles, and ChiChi and Bunnykin are bold and adventurous. But you won’t see Mouse—he hides away, watching all the activity with round green eyes.

    Each day of the week, a visitor comes to the café and adopts a cat that’s just right—a perfect human-cat pairing. And by the time Sunday rolls around, even shy Mouse finds his forever home.

    This is a heartfelt picture book about the connection humans can find with animals, and a celebration of how animals can be just as diverse in their personalities as people. It emphasizes the importance of adopting animals in need of a home and offers gentle validation for readers (and cats!) about coming out of your shell at your own pace when you’re nervous or shy.
