Christmas Cat Signed

Written by Tasha Tudor's daughter, Efner Tudor Holmes, and illustrated by Tasha in 1976, this magical children's story tells of an abandoned gray cat shivering alone in the cold, snowy forest on Christmas Eve. Not far away in a warm and cozy farmhouse, Jason anxiously asks his brother Nate if Santa Claus will be able to come in such bad weather. But soon the bitter wind stops howling, and the sound of sleigh bells rings clearly through the woods. Neither the cat nor the boys knows it, but a small Christmas miracle is about to occur...

Tasha Tudor's radiant illustrations illuminate this story, perfectly expressing the loving spirit that shines through the simple text. Efner Tudor Holmes skillfully combines down-to-earth reality with just a hint of seasonal magic.
