When Maya sees a lost cat sitting in the rain, she sets out to find where it belongs in this gentle story about friendship and kindness from a distinguished Australian author–illustrator.

On a roof, as wet as a seal, as grey as a puddle, Cat was rumbling, a rumbly purr.

What can Maya offer to get Cat down? Feather boas? A pompom on a stick? A boatful of fish under a tiny tin sail – or perhaps something much more valuable?

Affectionate and evocative, Maya and Cat follows a child’s kindly impulse to an unexpected conclusion.
