Applegate has done it again!! I love how this author takes serious topics and makes them so relatable and understandable for the age group. This is the story of a cat who finds lost toys and brings them to her family, who are refugees from Ukraine. We follow the story of a cat who finds toys and brings them home, hoping to find a second chance at a family. This story is one that I think many children will find so comforting. I see myself reading this one with my oldest when she gets bigger. I found this book so heartwarming. I cannot wait to see what Applegate puts out next!
