This playful story about a little girl and her best cat friend is a unique exploration of the changes children go through as they grow from toddler to big kid—for fans of Truman and Big Cat, Little Cat

Scamp believes there are two cats in her house—one pink (Scamp herself) and one black (Hector)—until her growing body begins behaving in not-so-catlike ways. She suddenly finds herself standing on two feet…eating with a spoon…even enjoying the bath. What is happening to her? But when Hector needs help, Scamp must choose between acting like a cat and taking a big-girl stand to rescue her friend.

This sweet and poignant picture book, with inviting watercolor art by a debut talent, perfectly captures the moment when a little girl realizes she is becoming a big girl, and the universal bittersweet beauty of change.

A sweet book for growing toddlers

"This sweet and playful book highlights the inseparable bond between a toddler named Scamp (who thinks she's a cat) and a cat named Hector. The minimal color palette of mostly pink, blue, and black goes well with the simple story of how Scamp comes to the realization that maybe she isn't a cat after all. A very cute ending, too!"

A Funny & Endearing Tale of Two Cat Friends

"Beware: Scamp and her fellow cat Hector are going to snuggle right up inside your heart and stay there forever! This book is a beautiful tale of two friends navigating change within themselves and their friendship. It evokes both laughter and suspense, with a perfect ending that shows readers that their friendships can survive change as long as they embrace it. The illustrations are gorgeous and leave you wanting more of Scamp and Hector (I'll cross my fingers for a sequel!). This book is perfect both for storytime read alouds as well as cuddling up under a blanket together—with a cat on your lap, of course."
