A shy, young girl warms up to a new friend when the local park’s cat goes missing and the two set out to find him. Anna is a shy, book-loving girl whose only friends are the characters in her books, but when Grandpa suggests she go outside to play, Anna has trouble talking to the other children. That is until she meets a boy who wants to find a cat named Mr. Robinson. A sweet story about a friendship between two shy, reserved children.

“A sweet tale of two children finding friends, this book will be loved by many children who pick it up.
