Key Selling Points Bob is a special cat who brings his neighborhood together when he learns how to ask for help. This story reinforces the importance of friendship and community, as well as how much joy and connection a cat can bring to people who otherwise live alone. The story was inspired by a real-life apartment cat named Georgia, who has spent her long, rich life connecting people to each other through her very being. One of her neighbors even wrote an operetta about her! Beautiful and playful illustrations by Udayana Lugo depict a vibrant city neighborhood.
