Book Description:
A little cat comes to the home of a poor Japanese artist and, by humility and devotion, brings him good fortune. When a poor Japanese artist and his humble housekeeper adopt a cat, good fortune results . Commissioned to create a painting of the dying Buddha blessing the animals, the artist is faced with a dilemma. Religious convention dictates that cats can not appear in religious paintings, but the artist defies tradition and paints his cat into the scene anyway, which brings about a true miracle.

This was a fun read. It taught me a lot about another culture that I never knew. And with a cat being the main character, it was a lot of fun!

Sonlight Book - core 5
Winner of the Newberry Medal
From the back cover:
This timeless fable of a cat who changes the life of a poor Japanese artist has become a classic since its first publication in 1930. This newly illustrated edition brings to life the magic and wonder of the Buddhist legends that the artist draws.
We loved this book.
