I just know that Striker, the active, bouncy kitten will reflect
the experiences of many children. He never seems to stop! But
Striker soon discovers that within him is a calm and peaceful space
in which he can be just as wild and free. Stunning illustrations
and a lyrical, rhyming text make this a really special book about
an increasingly important subject.
