Shadow’s Forever Home: An Adoption Journey

A fluffy, solid black kitten with golden yellow eyes rested on his favorite perch just outside the entrance to Seth Elementary School. It was a warm, sunny day, without a cloud in the flawless blue sky. As the students passed, many stopped to pet him-a pat on the head here, a scratch under the chin there.   "Oh, he's SOOOOO cute!" one girl exclaimed.   "MEOW!" the kitten cried. Although she couldn't understand him, what he really wanted her to hear was, "If you think I'm cute, take me home with you.
Please!"   "I really like cats, but my mom won't let me have one, " one young boy pouted as he passed the kitten.   With a sad face and a pitiful sigh, the fluffy black kitten with golden eyes gave up on finding anyone at the school to take him home. He began the long trek downtown hoping for something to eat.   Will Shadow ever realize his dream of a loving family, a warm bed, and plenty of healthy food? Discover for yourself, in this early chapter book just for developing readers.
With adorable black and white interior illustrations by artist Barbara Gadsby to bring Shadow's story to life, too.
