This is a loose collection of short stories. I picked this up because I loved The Traveling Cat Chronicles so much. The style and tone of that book are in these stories, but I didn't connect with all of the stories. I suppose that's to be expected. This is a very gentle and sometimes emotional read, so it might be a good idea to have a tissue handy.
