 “You are the curator of your story in every choice you make “

A compilation of Portuguese illustrator Luis Coelho’s panel drawings featuring his signature adorable ink illustrations of cats and full of positive affirmations, encouraging words of wisdom and loads of wit and humor, The Book of Purrs: Everyday Thoughts from Your Feline Friends is a fun read and a charming ode to how our furry friends can be a source of positive energy in our lives!

I loved the artwork, which was intricate yet simple and soothing. This is a simple book, one that might not inspire deep reflection (no offense to our feline friends!), but irrespective of whether you are a cat person or not, the witty feline wisdom and gentle reminders to be kinder to oneself could be just what you need to put a smile on your face when you are feeling overwhelmed!

Purrfectly delightful, this is a book that I would certainly want to revisit!

My favorite quote: “If your inner critic turns into a bully just let me tell you that you really do not need to be perfect”
