Cat’s Café by Gwen Tarpley is the kind of read that feels like a warm hug. Soft, soothing, and quietly affirming, it offers small, heartfelt moments alongside silly, joyful ones that bring a light, fun tone. 

The story gently explores mental health with hope and compassion, offering reminders that no matter what you’re feeling, you’re not alone. There’s a little bit of every animal in all of us—and for me, I see myself most in Rabbit, Armadillo, and Alligator. 

Whether you’re looking for comfort, encouragement, or just a smile, this cozy and thoughtful read delivers. A lovely reminder to be gentle with yourself and to those around you.
