Description

The Cat with the Coloured Tail by Gillian Mears follows the heartwarming journey of Mr Hooper and his unique companion as they travel through the countryside in their beloved ice-cream van. Together, they delight in playing their favourite game of spotting heart shapes and spreading joy with their delicious moon-creams.

However, a dark feeling is casting a shadow over the cat. As the ice-cream van winds its way into the forest, Mr Hooper and the cat come to a startling realisation—the heart of the world is in danger. The question remains: will they have the courage and means to save it?

This lyrical fable beautifully weaves themes of love and healing, inviting readers to embark on an enchanting and hopeful adventure.
