This is a book written in verse that I wrote for my children many years ago. The message of the book told through the characters, the purple mouse and the big white cat is that all races and colors can get along if they try. Since I have written this story I have read it to various preschools through first grade classes. The children always enjoyed it and all of their teachers encouraged me to try to get it published. They felt it had a good and important message. The book has been beautifully illustrated by Anthony Damato who is a San Francisco Police Officer. My children and grandchildren have enjoyed this book and I hope that those who buy it will have a similar experience.
