Slipper has a New Home

Slipper has a New Home

I am proud to know the author Tess Rixen.  This is an outstanding work about experiences we all go through as children either moving house, changing schools or entering other established situations as a newcomer.

While Slipper is a small little cat, new to the world, she is not afraid of exploring! Still, this new house feels big and lonely, and Slipper feels a bit scared. She needs to muster up the courage to go outside and speak to someone, and befriend someone as well. How will Slipper get over her fear of this new place and make friends?
