The Cat Who Chose to Dream” is also available at The California Museum, 1020 O St., Sacramento; The Avid Reader, 617 2nd St., Davis; online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble; and directly from Martin Pearl Publishing. The book shares the story of a cat’s choice to be incarcerated at a World War II prison camp as a gesture of loving support to the Japanese American family to whom he belongs. We witness through the cat’s eyes the devastating condition of the camp, as well as the sense of injustice he feels seeing his family go through this demoralizing experience. Young readers also share in the cat’s triumph over feelings of hopelessness and anger, as they witness the cat’s use of breathing and visualization exercises that help transport his creative mind to a place in his heart where he no longer feels encumbered and restrained, but self-empowered and free.
