The Cat Way

Sara Lundberg

Every day they go for a walk together, the human first and the cat a few steps behind. They always make the same rounds and there’s a particular spot where they usually stop to play hide and seek. But one day, the cat is fed up! She goes in a different direction, away from her human and the same, familiar path. The human becomes very afraid and confused. Should she stay or follow? Where is her cat going anyway? What if they get lost and never find their way home?

Sara Lundberg is one of Sweden’s most praised picture book makers and has been awarded several prestigious nominations and prizes, including the August prize twice as well as Snöbollen for best Swedish picture book of the year 2018. With The Cat Way she has created yet another colorful and poetic tale, a picture book for all ages.

Press voice

“There are books and then there are BOOKS. (…) And then there are these unforgettable stories, Sara Lundbergs “The cat way” for example. The kind of book that soars, deepens and triggers thoughts about life, love, relationships, dependents and independents, courage … and that is also so coloristically beautiful” Pia Huss, Dagens Nyheter

”A visual enjoyment, with bright colours and illustrations filled with feelings. (…) A picture book for all ages about friendship, between human and animal, an about compromise and to dare to let the one you love be free, but also the safety in a unconditional love. Overall rating: 5” Line Janson, BTJ

“An unbelievable beautiful picture book with text and illustrations that invites for an afterthought.” Shora Esmailian, Sydsvenskan
