When May brings home stray cat, Skippy Blackfeet, their adventures have only just begun, from the fierce neighbourhood dog to birthday party bungles, tumultuous trips to town, fireworks and thunderstorms, and everything in between! But Skippy Blackfeet and May go together like milk and sardines, and together they can face any challenge.
Skippy Blackfeet feels safe behind the cemetery walls, hidden from the dangers of the outside world. Out there, dogs bark, and cars blare and blast. Out there, people chase him away with the spray of a hose, or the shake of a rolled-up newspaper. Under the shelter of his agapanthus bush, the little black cat is often hungry and lonely … but at least he’s safe.
When nine-year old May visits the cemetery to lay flowers on her Nonna’s grave, she gets separated from her mother. She’s frightened and tearful, until she meets Skippy Blackfeet whose presence is as calming as a bowl of fresh cream.
When Mum agrees to let May bring Skippy Blackfeet home, their adventures have only just begun. For starters they need to win May’s dad over. He does not like cats. Especially black cats. Then there’s the fierce neighbourhood dog, birthday party bungles, tumultuous trips to town, fireworks and thunderstorms, and everything in between! But it soon becomes obvious that Skippy Blackfeet and May go together like milk and sardines, and together they can face any challenge.
Skippy Blackfeet is a heartwarming tale of friendship, acceptance, and belonging that will appeal to anyone who has every questioned their place in the world.
