The book “Katytė (Kitten)” (Lithuanian) by Leib Kvitko can be purchased at the Good Will Foundation e-shop https://gvf.lt/en/e-shop/.
A naughty kitten lives in the house. Soft, black as a tar, she purrs, runs around the house, and plays. Even a mother angry that a kitten is making friends with mice can’t resist the charm. But the best friend of a kitten is not a mouse, but a boy. For him, the kitten would do anything. If only she loses sight of the boy, she is looking for him in a stove, a pot, a jug, and when she finds him, the fun continues. When the kitten disappears one day, sadness strikes the house: the boy will not calm down until his sweetest friend will come back.
The publishing of the book was partially financed by the Good Will Foundation.
Price 4,50 Eur.
