In Celebration of the Holidays in Puerto Rico After Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria and Dedicated to the Many Brave Puerto Ricans Who Have Weathered and Continue to Weather the Aftermath of the Storms.
A little orange kitten moves from the North Pole (where it's very cold) to Puerto Rico, thinking that the sunny weather and tropical breezes would be so much better than "ice and snow." When she gets there, she finds that she is lonely. Missing her wintery Christmases, she decides to make Christmas cookies in the shapes of snowflakes, pine trees, and other things. Her neighbors can’t resist the smell of her cookies, so they all come for a visit. Pretty soon, she has made a lot of new friends and realizes that it's not the place but the people with whom she spends time are what matter.

A heartwarming and whimsical story in a sweet poem style reading. The illustrations are richly colored and the interactive buttons will make it a new children's Christmas classic! I can't wait to read it to my God son! Creativivity at It's best. Good job!
A true work of art and love. What a great gift and way to support hurricane relief efforts!
Loved it! Going to make this part of our Christmas tradition. Even our cat enjoyed it!
My 2.5 year old loves The Christmas Caribbean Cat! The clickable animals keep her entertained, and I love the artwork and narration.
