🎉 New from Pennsylvania author @hildaeburgos.bsky.social! 📖 Bodega Cats: Pawsome Pals (illustrated by Siara Faison) from @henryholtbooks.bsky.social After Gregory injures his leg, he is spotted by Amber, a three-legged street cat, who remembers what it is like to need help when you feel alone.

Thank you for spotlighting my new book!

I'm looking forward to meeting readers and talking about cats at this event!
