Coco is an orange cat with black and white spots. And she’s… well… a little overweight. She prefers to spend all day taking cat naps. But when someone is in danger, she transforms into Supercat! The feline defender of the weak! She ends up having all sorts of incredible adventures, like rescuing a missing kitten called Achilles, chasing away a crow that’s wreaking havoc on the garden, and stopping a crazy lawnmower that’s running over everything in its path… A main character that kids immediately fall in love with and a cast of characters they can identify with. Short books ideal for their target readership with delightful color illustrations, writing with a cartoon-style rhythm, and laugh after laugh. A series for children taking their first independent steps at reading and reluctant readers. Author recipient of the 2009 and 2015 Italian Andersen Prize…..
