I am Cat

It’s a beautiful book that we can thoroughly recommend…. The colours pop, the paper is rich and the whole thing is a feast for the senses. But, as always with Jackie Morris, the star of the show is the artwork. Magnificent paintings that not only represent the big cat in focus but somehow open the door to its spirit as well. * The Letterpress Project *A ginger cat curls up “ammonite tight” and dreams of ranging the Earth as tiger, cheetah, lynx and other big cats in this huge, gorgeous edition of Morris’s 2012 classic. Condensed, poetic text, glorious watercolours and additional information about each creature make this a picture book with serious growing room. * Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian *
