A worried little girl’s imagination runs wild when her cat Wilhelmina goes missing.Wilhelmina, the world’s most beloved pet cat, is missing. Or is she? This boldly illustrated adventure features one very worried girl, two frayed dads, a backyard of perils, and sneaky references to great works of art. Based on a true story, a real family, and a real cat named Wilhelmina.

“Perfect… I would recommend this book to not just those who like cats but who have ever had a cat living with them. It would also be a very fun story time read-aloud.”—STARRED REVIEW, Katrina Yurenka, Retired Librarian, Manager, Youth Services Book Review "My 4-year-old was instantly drawn into the story of the lost cat Wilhelmina and asked to read it again and again. As we did, we noticed new details in the illustrations each time and new things to discuss. As a parent, I loved the exposure to real works of art like The Scream and The Thinker and the representation of a two-dad multiracial family."—Sarah Prager, Queer, There, and Everywhere and Rainbow Revolutionaries
