A story about kindness that always finds its way back
A tiny kitten on the doorstep. One girl determined to get it home.
One ordinary morning, your daughter finds a shivering kitten on the doorstep. She doesn't wait for anyone else: she asks the baker, the mail carrier and the neighbors, follows a trail of tiny paw prints, and pins up a drawing of the kitten for everyone to see. It's a story about a girl who takes the lead herself — and discovers that kindness always finds its way back.

What's the story?
Your daughter opens the door to find a little kitten shivering on the doorstep. She scoops it up gently and sets out to find where it belongs: she asks the baker, the mail carrier and every neighbor on the street, follows a trail of tiny paw prints, and pins up a drawing of the kitten where everyone can see it. At last she finds the little boy who has been crying for his kitten all day. Kindness, she learns, always finds its way back.

The courage to knock on doors
Asking the baker, knocking on a neighbor's door, pinning your drawing up for the whole street to see — these are small steps that take a brave heart. In this story your daughter takes them one after another, not because anyone told her to, but because a little kitten needs her. Seeing herself do it on the page makes it easier to do in real life.
Kindness that comes back around
The story doesn't end with a prize. It ends with something better: a little boy gets his kitten back, and his smile with it. Your daughter sees that what she did changed someone else's day — and that feeling is what turns kindness into a habit rather than a chore.

Questions about “The Lost Kitten”
We don't have a cat — will the story still work for my daughter?
Absolutely. The story isn't about owning a cat; it's about a girl who sees someone who needs help and does something about it. It's also a lovely pick for kids who adore animals and dream of a kitten of their own.
What kind of photo do you need?
A clear photo of the face in natural light is all it takes — a phone photo is perfect. Avoid dark photos or ones where the face is turned to the side. If the photo won't work, we'll tell you and ask for another before we start.
Can I add a dedication on the first page?
Yes. Write us the dedication you'd like — a line or a paragraph — and we'll print it on the first page in elegant type. It's the page parents come back to years later.
What language is the book in?
English — short, warm sentences made for reading aloud, with your child's name on the cover and throughout the story. You'll see the cover in the free preview, and the whole book in the proof before we print.
What if I don't love the book?
We don't print anything until you've seen the digital proof and approved it. And if your printed book arrives with a printing defect, we'll reprint and ship it again for free.
