Montana Cats, A Tale of Winter
Numi and Jayki are champion wildlife watchers who live in a yurt in Northwest Montana. Every day they slip outside to explore the diversity of nature in the Big Sky State. In winter, the white cover gives these white cats extra camouflage for their adventures. The reader accompanies these cats as they find animals and birds to observe. Sometimes they even see animals watching other animals. At the end of the day, cats separate from the winter wildlife to return to the cozy yurt where they enjoy the comforts of domesticity, curling up in warm places to dream about springtime. The illustrator gives readers of all ages an overview of wildlife found in Flathead County, which includes a portion of Glacier National Park. This educational book was accomplished with the aid of Montana State Park Ranger, Derrick Rathe, who assisted by identifying species who could be seen in wintertime in the area. Visitor center staff from Lone Pine State Park helped me find resources materials about the animals, so also a thank you to Park Ranger Julia Smith.

Midnight and Moonlight
​
Midnight and Moonlight are not much alike at all. Midnight is sleek and black. Moonlight is fluffy and white. But when they ride in a box from the pet store to a new home, the two cats quickly become best friends. Moonlight likes doll beds, being cradled and guarding an aquarium full of fish. Midnight would rather curl up with a dog, climb a tree, or catch a mouse. Despite being unalike in many ways, the cats soon discover that being different really does not matter when you are with your best friend.
