"Harry Goes To Heaven," created for children grieving the loss of a pet, is a Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient and a finalist in the 2022 Independent Author Network book awards. Reviews of this beautiful book are unanimously five stars, and though written for children, reader response shows that adults are equally comforted by its message.

"The Twelve Cats of Christmas" (spoofing the famous holiday song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with an all feline cast) won The International Cat Writers' Association (CWA) 2012 Certificate of Excellence, Muse Medallion, and the Kuykendall Image Award for Outstanding Image Series featuring cats. The book and its individual designs on gift items are a staple of the holidays. Find the book here on Amazon, and gift items at zazzle.com/thewhitecatco.
