The Loyal Cat
Many years ago, in a small temple in northern Japan, lived a simple priest named Tetsuzan. One day he rescued a small kitten and named it Huku. No ordinary cat, Huku was able to raise objects into the air and keep them there as long as he wanted. But being a cat, he kept his powers a secret. Because Tetsuzan is a modest priest with a quiet voice, few people bring gifts to his temple. How can Huku use his special powers to create a comfortable life with plenty to eat? This book is beautifully illustrated by Aki Sogabe using an elegant cut paper technique.
