My Lazy Cat

French author/illustrator Roussey... presents a portrait of a friendship and a celebration of slowing down. Her goofy, bright illustrations are childlike in their simplicity but full of details to search through during a quiet read. A fine and restful nothing. --Kirkus The story's slowing pace and emphasis on observation remind children (and their parents) that relaxing means letting go to watch and listen. --Publishers Weekly Roussey's soft, simply drawn illustrations, primarily pastel-colored, exude a childlike innocence and cheer. The narrator's voice is engaging and genuine and may convince overscheduled American readers to take a cue from her--to put on the brakes, take a breath and enjoy the day. --BookPage This French import offers overscheduled kids and their parents an enjoyable lesson in doing nothing on your own or with a friend. . . it will inspire parents and kids to make room for screen-free, activity-free time. Read this one before a nature walk or an afternoon at the park. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books The illustrations are a delight --School Library Journal It is a lovely (and much-needed) sentiment to relax, take time to enjoy life, and spend time in nature. --Youth Services Book Review With a visual sensibility distinctive to European picture books (this is a French import), the colorful line drawings lend a quirky, active feel to the open white pages --Booklist
