NZ Picture Books

This delightful story is about an unexpected friendship between an adventurous cat and a grandfather who loves to fish. Blackie is no ordinary cat. Blackie is a cat with character and a cat with a kind heart. She also knows what’s good for her – food, fishing and friendship! And Grandpop is in need of a friend. He has returned to his favourite camping ground, but this trip is different – Grandpop is alone. One morning, Grandpop discovers Blackie on his caravan step. Over the next few weeks, a very special friendship emerges between Blackie and Grandpop. The story finishes with a heart-warming twist. Blackie the Fisher Cat is illustrated by talented artist Gabriella Klepatski, who beautifully captures the magic of New Zealand’s coastline.
