Cat’s Pocketful of Words

A Gentle Tale About Finding Your Own Way to Communicate

By R. Stanek (Robert Stanek)

About the story

At the Bugville Post Office, Cat and Buster have an important postcard to complete. Cat knows what she wants to contribute, but she needs enough time and room to share it in her own way.

As Buster practices waiting without guessing or rushing, the friends discover that speaking, pointing, drawing, and pausing can all carry meaning. This reassuring story celebrates patient attention and the many ways every child can be heard.
