I Am a Cat

Simon the housecat points out that though he may not roar like a lion or run fast like a cheetah, he does have many other things in common with the big cats.

A bold celebration of what it takes to be a cat, from acclaimed author-illustrator Galia Bernstein-now in board book!

Description

A simple housecat named Simon encounters some bigger cats: Lion, Puma, Panther, Tiger, and Cheetah. Each of the big cats has something to say about Simon not being "cat" enough. According to them, he just doesn't measure up. He doesn't have Lion's mane or Cheetah's spots. He doesn't sleep in trees like Panther or climb mountains like Puma. He's small and fuzzy, not big and strong.

But ultimately, Simon shows the big cats that he's just like them... only smaller.

A celebration of both individuality and community, I Am a Cat shows we're all more alike than we think... if we look closely enough.
