Mr Magic Cat

Henrique Coser Moreira

After The First Day, whose style Publishers Weekly compared to Miyazaki, Henrique Coser Moreira is back with another unusual and poetic cartoon for younger readers. Here, we again meet a character who leaves their house to explore the world outside — but this time it’s a cat, an elegant Mr. Cat, inhabitant of an empty, silent world, who goes out to have a poke around and ends up making his unmistakable mark.

A story without words but with plenty of humor, sensitivity and imagination.
