AlbakiReads Editorial

A childhood friendship with a cat

Margaux and May’s friendship begins when Margaux is six, then grows alongside her through shared memories. The story turns on a familiar worry: May is late coming home, and Margaux wonders where she might be. The description frames this as a “rather true story” about a cat who began life gray and became a big black cat, giving the bond between child and animal a place in the book’s central premise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in stories about cats and pets.
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about friendship and growing up.
  • Families looking for a picture-book story centered on a child’s bond with an animal.

Book overview


From the winner of the New York Times Best Illustrated Book Prize and the American Indian Youth Literature Award

I'd like to tell you a rather true story about a big black cat who started out gray. Her name was May.

Margaux and her cat May became friends when Margaux was just six years old. They grew up together, sharing countless memories along the way. But one day, May is late coming home. Where is May? Is she under the porch? Maybe on the roof?
