The Magical Cat of Calico Castle (Paperback)

Will a lonely bully ever find a friend? Journey to Calico Castle to find out!

In the whimsical land of Tail Tassle, where the hills are shaped like hats and a magical cat watches over all, peace is suddenly shattered when the fearsome Goon of Baboons arrives, searching not for treasure, but for something far more powerful: a friend.

The Magical Cat of Calico Castle is a beautifully illustrated, rhythmic picture book that takes children on a heartfelt adventure through empathy, inclusion, and the transformative power of kindness. Told in flowing verse, every page is a visual feast that will captivate young imaginations and spark meaningful conversations at bedtime and beyond.

Why parents, teachers, and librarians love this book:

• Social-Emotional Learning (SEL): A powerful, age-appropriate conversation starter about bullying, loneliness, and choosing kindness, without lecturing or moralizing.
• Breathtaking Illustrations: Vivid, cosy-fantasy artwork by Sheryl Chieng that pulls children into the world of Tail Tassle from the very first page.
• Rhythmic Read-Aloud Magic: Written as a heartfelt poem, the lyrical flow makes this the perfect bedtime story, children will beg to hear it again and again.
• A Gentle, Lasting Lesson: Teaches children that the best way to defeat a bully is not with force, but with empathy, inclusion, and a smile.
