Some of us are human, some of us are cats, but we are all Earthlings.

Neslihan Acu, who is popular for her contemporary literature works including young adult novels, wrote for children this time. The novel, which humorously tells the imaginary journeys of a curious child longing for his father and hobnobbing with cats, leaves its mark with its impressive fiction and colourful characters. A fantasy fiction that makes readers smile while making them feel the value of life and the power of love that glorifies the boundless imagination of childhood.
