A New York Times bestseller!
"This sweet, cat's-eye view of the White House" (Kirkus Reviews) is "a quietly lovely portrait of a landmark" (Publishers Weekly) as it tells the story of how Willow the White House Cat made her way from a farm in Pennsylvania to her new home and made new friends along the way, written by First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden.
When Willow leaves her cozy barn for Washington, DC, and the big white house where she will now live, Willow discovers new rooms to explore and is welcomed by the nice lady she met at Farmer Rick's farm. Soon, Willow meets so many new people-one who arranges the flowers, another who makes sweet things to eat, and the man with a nice smile who seems to be able to do everything at once. Even though they are much bigger and busier than she is, each of them always seems to have time to say hello and make her feel at home in the big white house. Willow enjoys discovering the White House and all the special people who make this hou se a home.
Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States, an educator, and a New York Times bestselling author, tells the story of Willow, the White House cat, and about the very special place she and President Biden call home.
Rezension:
In this narrative from Biden with Satin Capucilli, a farm visit from the first lady leads to a new life in Washington, D.C., for a gray tiger cat named Willow-but not before the farmer assures the kitten that "no matter where you go, we all share the same moon." After a warm welcome by both Bidens, Berube, working in ink and acrylic, chronicle Willow's explorations of her new digs: one catalog-like cutaway spread shows her perusing spaces including the Red Room and the Map Room, while other vignettes show friendly encounters with White House staff. But Willow's favorite spot is the Oval Office, where she sleeps on the big desk and receives presidential skritches. It's a quietly lovely portrait of a landmark through feline eyes, which concludes with a cozy personal moment: the president and first lady snuggled together under the covers, Willow curled up between them. Human characters are portrayed with various skin tones. An author's note includes photos of the real Willow. Ages 4- 8. (June) Publishers Weekly 7/15/2024
