Description:

Before Tara meets Ash-ting, an adorable gray kitten, her life at both home and school is dreadful; she doesn’t know how to make friends or how to talk to her dad about things that are bothering her. But soon Ash-ting enters her life and turns everything around, for Ash-ting is more than just a handsome pet—she can talk! She helps Tara navigate social situations at school and provides encouragement and guidance in many ways. The first in a new children’s series, this is a heartwarming story about a girl and her talking cat. ** ### Review "We are reminded that even at our worst, we are always loved, supported and encouraged by a Source that sees past bad behavior and into a heart that longs to connect to others in loving service." —Deanna Joseph, Bella Online (March 2011) "Tara found a way into my heart and stayed there. . . . encapsulates so many of the issues kids are dealing with these day: jealousy, anger, inequality. . . . highly recommended for the pre-school through elementary crowd . . . an excellent addition to any library." —*New Age Retailer* (August 2011) ### About the Author Diana Cooper is a lecturer and the principal of the Diana Cooper School.
