About The Book
James struggles with reading and misses recess to practice. To cheer himself up, he visits the cat rescue shelter and befriends Ghost, the cat in the box. But Ghost isn’t quite ready to make friends! As his reading improves, James learns that kindness and perseverance can have unexpected rewards and that having a furry friend is the best gift of all.

Raves and Reviews
This tale about patience and perseverance features beautiful, soft illustrations filled with adorable cats. James’ journey will be relatable to many children, and it also wonderfully demonstrates the positive effects of volunteering.
– Booklist
This book will help children learn that hard work and practice do pay off and that not everyone (in this case, the shelter animals) will be judgmental about our weaknesses in life. In addition, it will also teach readers about compassion and friendship.
