Jack's Tale by Aunt Trudy features a cat who is special in his own way, emphasizing the importance of acceptance and understanding

NEW YORK (MMD Newswire) March 19, 2009 -- Jack's Tale by Aunt Trudy is a children's story that demonstrates how everyone is different and special in their own way. When an orphaned kitten named Jack is adopted into a litter of puppies, he is happy and excited to belong, but Jack soon discovers he cannot make his tail wag like his puppy siblings. It is up to Momma Ellie, his pet parent, to help Jack focus on and celebrate his own special talents.

"For the younger children, it is simply a tale of a kitty called Jack and his uncooperative tail," Aunt Trudy explains. "But older kids will recognize the message that it is wonderful to be different and everyone is special in their own way. I hope the book can spark discussions on differences and similarities and how we can and should celebrate the things that are special about each of us."

The story is also designed to emphasize the important role that parents and mentors play in the life of a child. "You don't need to wag a tail," Mama Ellie explains to Jack, "to let everyone know when you are happy!"

Written for children of every age to read and enjoy, the book features full-color illustrations depicting Jack's journey to understanding and acceptance that he is different.
