Holiday Storytime with MARTHA FREEMAN at Books Inc.
About this Event
About the book: Kitty is back—but that doesn't mean he's ready for the holidays! The most wonderful time of the year fills this finicky feline with dread. Can Santa help Kitty feel the Christmas spirit?
Kitty is a good, nice kitty with a good, nice family who has everything he could ever want. He has his raggedy one-eyed mouse, breakfast at 7:00, supper at 7:00, and a so-cozy life that should never change. But to Kitty’s everlasting surprise and annoyance, things continue to change around him!
So when the holiday season arrives, Kitty is not excited. He doesn’t like the itchy sweaters, his family doesn’t appreciate him singing along to Christmas carols, and he’s not even allowed to eat the cookies left right out in the open on Christmas Eve! So Kitty tangles the tinsel, wrecks the wreath, and messes up the mistletoe. Kitty doesn’t feel bad until he sees what a rough night Santa has had. As he and Santa show one another kindness, Kitty realizes that Christmas might not be so bad after all.
Martha Freeman was born in Southern California shortly after the Big Bang. As the universe cooled and the Earth formed, Martha grew up and fought injustice, mostly with her pen but sometimes with her feet. Martha has worked as a newspaper reporter, copy editor, substitute teacher, college lecturer, advertising copywriter, and freelance magazine writer. In 1995, she published her first book for children, STINK BOMB MOM (not an autobiography).
Subsequently, she has published 30 more books, most recently ZAP! a techno-thriller about a power blackout, and IF YOU'RE GOING TO A MARCH, the perfect how-and-why picturebook for kids on their way to a protest. Besides writing, Martha enjoys running, parallel parking, making pies, hiking and talking on the phone to her far-flung children.
