Pepper & Poe

Maurice Sendak Fellowship Award Winner Frann Preston-Gannon makes her US picture book debut.

Pepper is an old cat. He’s set in his ways, and used to his normal routine in the house that he rules — or thinks he rules, anyway! Yup, he’s got everything down to a science, including how to manipulate the house dog. That is until a new kitty named Poe comes along and starts messing up everything! Can Poe get Pepper to accept him as part of the family?

This hilarious story reinvents the age-old new sibling topic with a furry twist, taking an emotionally heavy subject and masking it with humour — all while reinforcing the days of the week!

Frann Preston-Gannon, the 2011 Maurice Sendak Fellowship Award Winner, makes a stunning US picture book debut with her unique, eye-catching artwork and clever use of text.
