Christopher Myers' read-aloud hip-hop poem and arresting collage artwork invite readers on an eye-opening journey from a stray cat's perspective as it searches for a home.

Through pulsating city streets, "black cat" dances to the banging beats of passing jeeps, tiptoes across bodega lights, edges over rooftops to sun-soaked tar beaches, and ultimately shows readers what it means to find a place of their own.
