It is never too late to do well! Believe a teacher, mum, grandma, and author!

What could better improve the general atmosphere of fear, stress, and anxiety caused by the world-wide pandemic than this adorable, cute, absolutely purrr-fect children’s book? It will undoubtedly help kids overcome this terrible period but it will also support parents, grandparents, and teachers in their daily teaching duties.
