When his family accidentally leaves him in a strange town, Kat the dog must look for a new place to belong. As he travels from place to place, he receives gifts from those who have little but are willing to share with a "friend" in need. At the end of his journey, Kat not only finds a loving, new family, he then learns of the ultimate Gift of love--God's Son. Parents and children alike will delight to read this warmly illustrated bilingual book that reinforces the concepts of our love for each other and God's love for us. About sixteen years ago Jim Walker started writing short stories about growing up in a large family. Widely published in local newspapers, these humorous and poignant stories led him to write this first in a series of stories about Kat. Jim, his wife, Marilyn, and his dog, Kat, live in Jonesboro, Louisiana. Wendy Walker Silverman received her bachelor of fine arts (studio art) from Louisiana Tech University.
