9+ The Purring Child (Intermediate, Fiction) Synopsis The adventures of Pepe, a very special pet cat. One day, in the tenement, No, a decidedly bizarre little human, arrives: No does not speak like humans, he does not think like humans and does not behave like humans. And this is why humans keep him locked up, like a dog, but worse than for a dog, because dogs are taken out from time to time. A tender and funny story, a strange friendship between a cat living indoor and an autistic child that has the feel of a thriller, but with a bit of humor and a bit of adventure.
Excerpt
I try to show effusive to him. So, a half turn on the legs, lowering my head for a moment, and then I go back to look at him. He, standing behind the window, does the same thing. A half turn with the bust. And back to smile at the glass in front of him. So I approach and press my forehead against the glass, to make him feel I am cuddling him. Since he is leaning over the glass it is like cuddling him directly. It is a bit strange but it works. It works so well that No starts doing a verse with his throat... and from what I can hear through the closed glass this is purring, it’s real purring ! I remain stunned. What kind of creature is this? Rights Sold: none Extent: 150 Target Group: 9+ About: Cats, Friendship, Autism, Prejudice
