Description
The Cat with the Coloured Tail features a magical cat, an ice-cream van that conjures delicious moon-creams, and a heartfelt quest to bring joy to those who need it most.
Mr Hooper and the Cat with the Coloured Tail journey through the countryside in their charming ice-cream van. They delight in searching for heart shapes, their favourite game, and spreading happiness with their delightful moon-creams. However, a dark feeling shadows the cat. Something is amiss.
When their ice-cream van enters the forest, Mr Hooper and the cat come to a startling revelation: the heart of the world is in peril. Can they manage to save it?
This is a lyrical fable about love and healing.
