Description
Big Cat is mysterious. Big Cat is chaotic. Big Cat is lawless.
Catherine is not. She likes things to be neat, tidy, and orderly.
But when the two meet, they discover they have more in common than they think, and that sometimes the best adventures can be found in your own backyard.
A story about finding your inner wildness in unexpected places, from one of Australia's most exciting picture book creators.

About the Author
Jess Racklyeft creates a variety of illustrated things - picture books, paintings, prints, pins and cards - mainly in watercolours. She works from her Melbourne home studio with her cat and dog at her feet, and occasionally one of her kids joins in too. Her work often combines collage - either on paper or digitally assembled - and lots of ink, and for every book she tries to use a new technique or process to continue to challenge and grow, book by book. Jess worked in publishing sales for almost a decade before making the leap to full-time illustration work, and since then has won several illustration accolades including CBCA Picture Book of the Year for Iceberg (written by Claire Saxby). Her work can now be found in bookshops and libraries across Australia, and her days are happily spent in a messy studio or visiting local storytimes with her two young kids.
