Meow Is Not a Cat

Meow is definitely not a cat. Cats lick their butts. Follow along as this wild child's unique way of following instructions ends up going a little bananas.

Meow Is Not Cat is a completely goofy story, guaranteed to make kids laugh. With a cynical cat, wild monkeys, butt jokes, and a banana cannon, even pre-readers will love shouting out their favorite parts as you read aloud.

Nestled among the laughs is a lesson about how embracing a person's different way of interpreting the world can lead to surprisingly good results - and bananas, lots of bananas.

Every child interprets the world in their own way. Even more so for neurodiverse kids who often get labeled naughty, distracted, loud, difficult, or rude.

Too many stories about neurodiverse kids end with an adult coming to the rescue to "correct" them. Not in this story. Instead, in this completely whacky kids' book about being unique, it's Meow who helps an adult change their perspective.

Kelly writes goofy books for kids. She believes we learn while laughing, and even the smallest hat-tip to positive values can teach our kids how to approach the world. Her children's stories are perfect to read aloud to your little humans, or to have your older kids read themselves (hey, let them flex those new reading skills!). Kelly's books are formatted to be dyslexia-friendly.
