Meet Riley, a curious kitty who goes in search of discovering what it means to be a cat. Does he have a purpose like so many
of those other
creatures that he meets? Time will tell and in the meantime young readers will come to learn a thing or two themselves. Riley first meets Simon the crow, who isn''t very kind when he tells Riley that cats don''t sound very
important. This sets the plot in motion, and Riley comes to understand how spiders, bees, and beavers are all very useful creatures. When she meets a wise bat, named Bart, she learns the most important thing of all – that you have to look deep inside yourself to see what it is that you can do to make the world a better place. Children will learn this lesson along with Riley but will also come to see that everyone is important in some way and that being different isn''t a bad thing. Back home, Riley is reminded of the most important job of all – being part of a loving family.
