Ketzel, the Cat Who Composed, by Lesléa Newman
(Illustrated by Amy June Bates)
We felines are rather talented. Based on a true story, Ketzel became a world-famous kitty composer, as did Ketzel's human, Rabbi (Morris) Moshe Cotel (1943-2008). Ketzel's comPAWsition appears below.

Newman and Bates have created a charming children's picture book commemorating both Moshe and Ketzel. It is an affectionate portrait of two musically-gifted souls that is uplifting and life-affirming. Plus it's really sweet.
In one of my previous lives, I enjoyed the piano, so I know how wonderful music can be to us kitties. People seem to like it, too.
I hope you enjoy reading this book to your little peeps.
