About The Book

The adorable new picture book from the internationally acclaimed author of Perdu and Little Bear celebrates senses and emotions as readers are invited into Little Cat's world...

As a little cat rushes in from a day's adventuring, her owner asks her where she's been and what she's seen. Was she happy? Was she brave? Was she kind? The richly imagined answers, depicted in beautifully nostalgic illustrations and a direct, simple text, encourage empathy, conversation and imagination. It has all the hallmarks of a modern classic.

"Stylishly illustrated with blocks of muted colour, tender gestures and a child-friendly simplicity, Where Have You Been Little Cat? equally inspires courage for adventures and appreciation of the cosiness of home." - Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week

About The Author

Born in Warwickshire, Richard Jones has been living and working in Devon for over 20 years. After leaving university with a degree in graphic design and illustration, he stayed on a little longer to complete a PhD. He spent several years working in a busy children’s library, issuing and shelving other artists’ picture books before one day wondering if it wasn’t about time he had a proper go at creating one or two himself! He now writes and illustrates from the smallest room in his home. Across the roof tops of Exeter, and between the rounded Devon hills, he can just about make out the distant sparkling sea.
