Ketzel, the Cat Who Composed

A 2016 Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Award Winner

A kitten€s stroll down a keyboard leads to a celebrated one-minute composition in this charming portrait of a remarkable true friendship.

Moshe Cotel was a composer who lived in a noisy building on a noisy street in a noisy city. But Moshe didn€t mind. Everything he heard was music to his ears. One day, while out for a walk, he heard a small, sad sound that he€d never heard before. It was a tiny kitten! €œCome on, little Ketzel,€ Moshe said, €œI will take you home and we will make beautiful music together.€ And they did€"in a most surprising way. Inspired by a true story, Lesl©a Newman and Amy June Bates craft an engaging tale of a creative man and the beloved cat who brings unexpected sweet notes his way.
