This delightful story begins when Rachel's Mama Mariah discovers an orphan kitten which Rachel's family (two moms, Rachel and her brother, Tim) then adopt. This small, 50-page chapter book with black and white illustrations continues with tales of the kitten's adventures, through the seasons, culminating with a big surprise for Rachel.
