“Cleo,” written by author Helen Brown, is an emotional memoir about how a cat mends a family after tragedy strikes. It takes place in New Zealand in the early 1980s, then it slowly goes into the early 21st century.

What I like about this book is that different parts talk about the cute activities that the cat does. It reminds me of the different adorable things that my cat does.

Another part of this book that I love is the amount of bonding the characters have with their cat. In fact, with the pandemic happening, children have had the ability to make better connections with their pets. For example, before COVID I haven’t had the extra time to bond with my cats. Now, I have loads of time to spend with them every day and have more time to love and care for them.

What I don’t really like about “Cleo” is the amount of sadness it has in it. Sometimes, the reason I would cry when I am reading the story is because I had similar experiences. This book is perfect for those who love cats.
