Moonlight Kitty

by Heather vonHagen

A soft meow brings Moonlight Kitty to Ada and her younger sister, Elsie, just as bedtime begins. The sisters make room on the quilt, and Ada decides she can save a place for their visitor by keeping one paw pressed down. But when morning comes, Moonlight Kitty wanders outside—and a held spot may not be what he needs.

As the day passes, Ada watches him follow a skittering leaf, seek warm sunshine, and discover a quiet place of his own. She wants him to come back, but guarding the quilt leaves her unable to help Elsie prepare his supper. Can Ada find a way to welcome Moonlight Kitty without holding his place for him?

Moonlight Kitty is a gentle picture-book story for preschoolers about affection, patience, and making room for someone to choose. Cozy bedtime moments, a curious cat, and tender sisterly teamwork make it a sweet read-aloud for winding down together.
