The Truck Cat is a story about cats and humans, immigration and identity, and homes lost and found.  The perfect book to inspire kindness and compassion in young children everywhere.
 
Some cats are house cats. Some are apartment cats.
But Tinka is a truck cat. Tinka lives everywhere.
 
Along with his human, Yacoub, Tinka travels roads wide and narrow, near and distant. But no matter how much they travel, home feels very far away – for both of them. 
 
Yacoub drives his truck to make a living, learning the landscape of a new country along the way, and longing for connection. When Tinka and Yacoub are unexpectedly separated, they are determined to find their way back to each other – and, in doing so, might find more than they expected … Deborah Frenkel, Danny Snell (Illustrator)
