What happens when a determined cat follows her dreams and passion and takes Paris by storm? Breathless in its exuberance, this is the tale of Kitty, who leaps from the page from the alleyways of Paris, to singing with Edith Piaf, to designing her own costumes, to dancing with Josephine Baker. But is this what she really wants? Cats have nine lives after all!

Piet Grobler’s energised illustrations juxtapose monoprint and linework and reflect Kitty’s own exuberance. They add a smokey quality to the urban landscape of the city, with quirky details like fishtail bouquets and art deco signage and a map of Paris as endpapers.

“It’s a book that demands to be read out loud, with delicious phrases throughout that chime and charm the ear.” from a ‘Few to Read’.
