---------------------------------------------------------------------

A hilarious debut picture book where kids will empathize with Edgar the Cat's dreams of stardom while also exploring the downsides that come with it.

Edgar knows he he’s the cutest, sweetest, most adorable cat in the world. And he wants to be famous like all of the other cats he sees online. (Move over Grumpy Cat!) Maybe then his human Quinn will remember he exists. But fame isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be.
