Loaf the Cat loves to play with her boy. One day the boy puts on his grass dance regalia and leaves the house before Loaf wakes up from her nap. Not wanting to be left behind, Loaf follows the scent of her boy to the powwow.

DeShaw tells the story from the perspective of the cat. Audibert’s illustrations are fun, colorful and engaging. The boy and his family are Ojibwe.
