A Girl and Her Cat, 2nd edition,
written and illustrated by Karis Ens (District 6)
Praise for A Girl and Her Cat:
“A Girl and Her Cat is a delightful children’s book that shows the love between a little girl and her kitten, then adult cat, named Pepper. Author and illustrator Karis Ens’ personal story of her beloved feline is enhanced by simplified line drawings that reinforce the narrative. This book separates itself from the stereotypical children’s book with dominating illustrations that limit space for the written word. As a result, Ens allows readers of all ages to enjoy the development of an extensive literary story about the loving relationship between a little girl and her four-legged companion. I highly recommend A Girl and Her Cat to all people who have ever had a pet who was a best friend.”
– Jim Potter, author of Deputy Jennings Meets the Amish
“This is an adorable children's book about a child and her best friend, her cat. The author purrfectly describes the girl's feline friend and their relationship. If you are an animal lover, Karis' story will make you feel as though you are with that special furry friend again. Even if you are not an animal lover, you will feel as though you are in the story, or perhaps, in your story, remembering a special childhood friendship and its joys and woes.”
– Melody Cole, author of Sentiments of a Survivor
