Publisher's Synopsis
Working Class Cats for Peace was inspired by Carolyn McCrady's stepchildren who loved to go to the beach. When they tried to bring the family cat along, he balked. Carolyn explained that he couldn't come because he didn't have a bathing suit.
This book provides a simple but interesting way to talk about friendship and loyalty among children, and promote the idea that when we harm each other, we are harming ourselves.
