Continuing my cat themed reading, this Newberry Medal winner is an extraordinary read. Written in 1930 this timeless story is a beautiful depiction of the power in compassion and a hunger for more than food.

I first encountered this book when I started reading. It was a battered old hardcover copy that was tucked away on a shelf at my primary school. When I read the story it made me cry. Many years later, a good friend of mine, hearing me speak of the book, gave it to me as a gift. She slipped into my office while I was out and left it on my desk. I cried again.Okay. I'm funny about animals.

I read this book as a child, and I have to say it affected me profoundly, perhaps more than any other book I ever read. It's a beautiful story, rich, historical, yet mystical. I learned so much from reading this book, and I think every child should read it, I think it would help make them a better person, as I feel it had that affect on me. To this day I still get tears in my eyes and get choked up when I read it. Sad, and yet the most beautiful story I've every read.

"Once upon a time, far away in Japan, a poor young artist sat alone in his little house, waiting for his dinner." But on this particular day, dinner was not coming. Instead, inside the housekeepers little bamboo basket was a small white cat with yellow and black spots on her sides. But the artist could barely provide for the two of them let alone a third! Fortunately, a tri-colored cat is a very lucky thing to have and so she was kept and named Good Fortune. True to her name, good fortune

What the hell, why is this a book? As short as it was, it was too long. It may have made a nice folk-tale, without the endless passages of the artist channeling the life of Siddhartha.

Cats, Buddha, art, being nice to cats, forgiveness, and a cat. What's not to love?
