I Am Tama, Lucky Cat: A Japanese Legend

I Am Tama, Lucky Cat: A Japanese Legend

Under the shadow of the white-capped mountains of Japan, a kind and gentle monk takes in a white cat with unusual markings and names him Tama, Lucky Cat.
Tama watches as his new master teaches Buddhaâ€™s ways to poor farmers, caring for their welfare while ignoring his own empty stomach. Tama truly earns his nicknameâ€•â€œLucky Cat,â€™ when during a powerful thunderstorm, he sees a towering warlord on a white horse. The cat beckons the warrior forward just as a large branch crashes to the ground and lands right where the warlord had previously stood. In gratitude to Tama, the warlord lavishes gifts on the monkâ€™s poor temple.
In a marriage of graceful text based on one of the legends of Maneki Nekoâ€•â€œbeckoning cat,â€ in early Edo-period Japanâ€•and breathtaking watercolor illustrations, debut author Wendy Henrichs and award-winning illustrator Yoshiko Jaeggi offer a beautiful story of friendship, generosity, and kindness.
