The email came the night before: There would be no school today. With Mama busy working from home and not enough time to plan a playdate or an outing, Em is left with a very tempting option: several blissful hours of digital distraction -- and they couldn't have been more thrilled. But just as Em settles in for a relaxing day of screen, something mysterious and mischievous, furry and feline arrives, sending their perfect plans right out the window -- literally! In order to return to their devices, Em must follow the pesky intruder on an incredible journey where they realize they may never get back to where they began. Em and the Cat is an exuberant adventure that creates space for growth and fun in the expansive universe of the imagination.
