'Who knew so much love could be encapsulated in only 30 pages?! A picture book for all ages, and for everyone, human or feline' Readings, Best Picture Books of the Year
'a touching reminder that "home is everywhere".' Our Bookish Days
'Themes of immigration, belonging, identity and home, run strong through this narrative … a book that adults and children will admire and want to read over and over.' Get Kids Booked
'The Truck Cat is everything a good picture book should be. It is understated yet unpredictable and delivers a story that grows in the reader’s mind over time, always inviting a revisit … The story splits into two threads, then comes together at the end to meaningfully bind themes of home, belonging and the migrant experience.'
