Books with author Kim Ellis

Much like her owner, Shasy the cat is full of curiosity and will not rest until she has explored the unknown. Willing to leave behind all of the comforts of domestication, Shasy sets out to sink her claws into to all that awaits her. As she feels her way through the abyss she encounters both friend and foe. Shasy discovers rain, wind, ice and snow. Are the harsh conditions of the outdoors enough to send her back to the comforts of home or is she more driven by her longing to see what she has never seen and feel what she has never felt. This book is intended to educate and entertain children. Readers are introduced to textile terminology and new vocabulary words. Supplemental materials are available to assist parents and educators with teaching children through the use of manipulatives and constructive learning. “Shasy the Cat” can be purchased as a stuffed animal. She comes stuffed with fabric swatches that tie back to the pages of the book. This helps children experience the journey first hand, helping to wake up the inner “cat lover” of each reader.
