Dawn McMillan & Philip Webb
Christmas classic from
the author of 2012 best-seller I need a
new Bum!
‘One Christmas Eve, some years ago, a ginger kitten
wandered along a street on the far side of town. He was hungry, and cold and
wet.’
.
Bertie McGinty finds
the kitten and christens him Holy Socks. Soon the pair is inseparable. Even
after Bertie’s death, Holy Socks sticks by his master and takes up home in the
church near his grave.
Captivated by Holy
Socks as she sits in church, young Christie calls out, ‘Can I keep the cat?’
Father John, by way of answer, tells everyone the story of Holy Socks.
This heart-warming
tale from Thames-based Dawn McMillan, with beautiful illustrations by
Wellington artist Philip Webb, is set to be an instant Christmas classic.
