Written by Alicia Potter, Illustrated by Birgitta Sif
When Miss Hazeltine opens a home for shy and fearful cats, she is surprised by how many come to her door, both pets and strays alike. She teaches them to face their fears – fears such as scary noises and brooms. But most of all, she teaches them to think good thoughts. Her students are put to the test when Miss Hazeltine has an accident and cannot be found. A cute story with delightful illustrations. This book would be especially useful to read with children who are facing their own fears.
