Diversity Lesson

In this adventure story, two black cats, Moto and Kozo, enter another world through a “time portal” in their garden. The strangers they meet, though very unique in their looks, have a lot in common with Moto and Kozo and their calico friend Miss Moshe. In the end they all become very good friends. This is a story about friendship, diversity, acceptance, tolerance and kindness.
