The Cross-Eyed Kitten. Written by Judith M.Ackerman and illustrated by Olivia Manta,

How sweet is this beautiful children's book The Cross-Eyed Kitten.


Written by Judith M.Ackerman and illustrated by Olivia Manta, this one is the story of Ali and her 7th birthday. 

She is so excited, because her parents decided to accomplish a big desire of the kid: adopting a kitten. So Ali can't wait and nervuously eats her breakfast before to go with her parents to the Human Society for picking up a kitten. Once arrived, Ali is so surprised to see sooo many kittens. She is still looking at them, when she notices some nasty children making bad considerations on a kitten. Adorable, the only problems is that the kittens eyes are crossed. Ali pick him up, look at him attentively and she decides for this kitten, for sure not perfect but unique in its genre.

The parents asks why she is choosing him. After all this kitten won't never see her the way other kittens sees her. Ali is always more convinced: as she replies firmly to her parents:"Every time he looks at me he will see two of me, who loves him just the way he is, and he will feel twice as much love as all the other kittens!"


This little cute tells speaks of inclusivity, acceptance and of a best society. Beautifully illustrated, the story touches the heart.


I thank Netgalley for the ebook.
