I Am Special — Trafford Publishing

This charming tale transports young children to the fictional feline world of Pumpkintown, a wonderful place where every individual is unique, accepted by the other cats, and told by the town's wise Mayor Sonny that they are very special. Through the "tails" of its many endearing characters, this delightful story teaches preschool and young school-aged children that they too are special and should also accept others, even if they are different.

Written by first-time author Charlotte Lisi, and brought to life visually by professional illustrator David Ortega, the story is based on the author's real life cats and their enchanting antics. This book is certainly an excellent addition to any child's library, and also a great gift. Children will be captivated by the engaging topic and illustrations, while learning about self-confidence and acceptance of others.
