My children's book is called My Name Is Bernadette. Bernadette is a runt of the litter young cat. She was left under a deck as a kitten and grows up in a person's yard and thinks this is the entire world. Throughout the book, she learns many lessons about trust, bullying, humans, and wisdom. Meeting a very old cat named Jack, she learns how to listen to her gut feelings and to take care of herself in a very big world.
