"Layla Morgan Wilde had produced a long overdue volume of remarkable stories to ally centuries of prejudice towards black cats.The message is profoundly simple. Every cat deserves adoration and adoption regardless of outworn superstitions!"

Oskar The Blind Cat, children's book author, special needs advocate and celebrity cat.

"There's something about a black cat that sets my soul on fire--ebony magic dipped in starlight! That they are often passed by in shelters is a great loss to families looking to bring home a loving feline companion. Thank you, Layla, for sharing their stories and images so that others can see their beauty.

Christine Davis, award-winning author and illustrator of For Every Cat An Angel, Forever Paws and other inspirational titles from Light-Hearted Press
