With the possible exception of Larry, England’s Chief Mouser, Willow the First Cat is the world’s most well-known and powerful cat in the world. Now who she has her first biography, and it looks to be the cat’s pajamas:
The picture book follows the titular feline’s transition from living in a barn to residing in an iconic American house. As Willow adjusts to her new home, she finds new places to play and interesting staff members who are busy with their jobs but always make time to welcome her.
“First Lady Jill Biden has created a heartwarming picture book with Willow the White House Cat,” said Jon Anderson, president and publisher of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing, in a statement. “Readers young and old will enjoy this fun glimpse into Willow’s life in the White House, and the message that being open to new friendships can sometimes surprise you, is one that is sure to resonate with families everywhere.”
The tale is inspired by the Biden family’s real pet, American tabby cat Willow (named after Biden’s hometown of Willow Grove, Pa.), and her reception by the White House staff upon her arrival. “They welcomed Willow with love and care, just as they did Joe and me, the First Families who came before us, and all of the people who step foot into this home,” Jill Biden said. “Making many new friends along the way, Willow’s journey gives the world a ‘cats-eye’ view of all the ins and outs of America’s most famous address.”
Doesn’t it sound just purrfect?
And its timely release of early June will help cinch the cat-lovers vote too!
