About Lucy Lou
Lucy Lou came from a farm and was the only survivor from the litter. She never grew to full size. With care and attention at the Rescued Cat Centre, she developed into a healthy cat and is now four years old. Despite being very small Lucy Lou moves at great speed. She loves to hide away and is generally a shy and nervous cat. One of her personality quirks is her tendency towards ‘chirping’ as opposed to ‘meowing’.
About the Book
Lucy Lou is has a deep, dark secret… she is a ‘scaredy-cat’. None of the other cats will play with her until Missy Moo takes her on an exciting bush adventure. This story is delightfully captured by the photographs of Christine Johnston.
