Reviews"This gentle picture book by a popular Japanese illustrator and a debut author is a strong story about love and belonging. Young Hina and her mom find a stray cat leaving a sick kitten on their doorstep to be nurtured. At first, Hina wishes for a cute cat from the pet shop, but when the kitten stares at her with beautiful blue eyes, Hina is amazed that something so small can be alive. After a warm bed and a litter box are set up, Mom leaves Hina to care for the kitten while she buys cat food. Hina fears she's lost the kitten and remembers how scared she was when she got lost at the market. Knowing that the kitten must be just as frightened, Hina realizes it is up to her to keep the feline safe, and she frantically searches everywhere only to discover it bundled up in her sweater, asleep. Sakai's soft lines and blended gray, blue, and pink pastels complement the quiet tone of the text and give strong emotion to the simple, concise sentences. VERDICT: More than a basic stray kitten tale, this is a sweet selection about being lost and found. The cozy ending will fill listeners with hope. Best shared one-on-one or with a small group."--School Library Journal, "Hina and her mother are surprised to find a skinny, scruffy kitten outside their door. The mother cat andtwo other kittens are nearby, but the little one seems to need special care. Hina's mother reassures themother cat and then takes the kitten inside to clean and feed it. Love and compassion are evident on eachpage as Hina's mother shows her what to do to care for the kitten. When her mother leaves for a fewminutes to get cat food, Hina and her grandmother look after the kitten, but when the kitten briefly goesmissing, she remembers how scared she was once when she was lost in a store, furthering her resolve tofind and care for her new friend. Multitextured illustrations have the look of paint on wood, with soft,visible brushstrokes, which renders the images in streaky, gently abstracted shapes, though never at theexpense of clarity. Originally published in Japan, this sweet, beautifully illustrated story emphasizes bothempathy and compassion. Perfect for little animal-lovers."--Booklist
