Buddy is an older cat who sometimes has trouble sleeping because of his aches and pains. There are seven cats in all, and they have plenty of adventures together in their home and backyard. Each cat has a totally different personality, which makes the story even more fun! One day, this group of inquisitive cats helps Buddy try to find from where a mysterious light is coming. Their search to solve the puzzle teaches them to look more closely at the world around them. In the second book of this delightful children’s series, children will discover some of the funny ideas that cats have, and can feel their excitement as each attempt brings them closer to solving the light’s riddle. Imagine their surprise when they finally solve the puzzle in Seven Cats and One Little Light. Now retired, Melissa Risselada resides in St. Johns, Michigan. The grandmother of four says her seven cats “provide her with endless hours of laughter and lots of love.” She is also involved in jewelry making, gardening, walking, and 4H, where she is a teacher in art and on the County 4H Council, which keeps her busy and her days full.
