This month's kid’s book is based on a real life cat named Mildred who lived in one of the most famous art galleries in the world - The Tate Modern. Mildred is a sleepy gallery cat by day, but an inquisitive artist by night. Join her as she explores the many art styles in the gallery, what being an artist means to her and all of the different ways art can make you feel.
A bold and vibrant debut which is sure to delight art lovers both big and small. With clever nods to some of the world’s greatest art, this delightful tale is an instant classic.
"Working at the Tate Modern, each morning I’d be greeted by the sight of Mildred, either lying splayed out in the middle of the staff reception or perching on someone’s moped in the car park ... I started drawing famous artworks reimagined through the eyes of a cat, and this made me think of how we often experience art in a very personal way. I wanted to emphasise that anyone can be creative, and art is for everyone!" Jono Ganz, author and illustrator
