A little boy offers advice to his cat, which is lost in the city, from taking shortcuts through safe alleys to finding a friend in the park. The first picture book that the award-winning Sydney Smith has both written and illustrated is a story about feeling small in the city--and finding your way home. On a snowy day in a big city, a little boy hops off a streetcar and walks through downtown, between office buildings, through parks and down busy streets. Along the way, he provides helpful tips about which alleys make good shortcuts, which trees to climb and where to find a friendly face. All the while, the boy searches for what he has lost.
