Goyangi Means Cat

Goyangi Means Cat

By Christine McDonnell 32 pages Children

Danny Says

I grabbed this book because of the beautiful artwork on the cover by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. McDonnell treated me to the lovely story of a little girl from Korea who comes to live with her new American family. She cannot speak any English and bonds with a cat, who goes missing. Let me just say that if you make it through the ending without crying, you are a stronger person than me. Beautiful book.
