Milli, Jack, and the Dancing Cat (2003)..
by Stephen Michael King
I don’t know that I ever would have found this book had a friend of mine not tucked it in with a shipment of baby clothes she was loaning me. She said the book was one of their favorites and one that made her think of me. I was so touched by that, especially after I read it. This book immediately skyrocketed to one of my all-time favorites.
Milli is an artist, a creator, but she’s too shy to share her creations with the world. So, she does her best to blend in with the ordinary world, as a basic shoemaker. But when two minstrels show up in town and befriend her, Milli suddenly finds the spark she had needed to be who she truly is.
