A tale about a tail, and a cat with some VERY big feelings.

Shibu the cat has a lot of feelings and thankfully his fluffy tail helps him express them all! But one day, Shibu realizes that all the other cats are keeping their feelings (and their tails) tucked away. Maybe it would be better to try and fit in? From two extraordinary debuts comes a delightful story on navigating life's highs, lows, and all the big emotions in between.

Tess Thomas is a writer living in Hoboken, NJ. She started her storytelling career at the age of 4 when she would dictate tales about her imaginary friends, Sami the cat and Doodie the dog, and send them to her grandparents. Tess loves french fries, her kids, and her husband (sometimes in that order).
