From New York Times-bestselling creator Stephen Savage comes an adventurous picture book about a little cat with BIG ambitions. Life hasn't always been easy for street cat, Butterscotch. But when she finds herself in a brand new home, full of warmth and love, she gathers the strength to be brave. One day, she sees a fellow cat facing a crocodile on the nature channel on TV, so she jumps through the screen to help. After all, she is. A rescue cat! This innovative picture book is an inspirational and classic tale about a brave, fearless cat who shares kindness and care.
