The White Cat and the Monk

Transforming a historical poem into a story for kids must have involved some creative choices. I wonder what inspired the decision to focus on the cat and the monk's relationship?

The illustrations and storytelling really brought the setting to life in a gentle way. I’m curious if others felt the same sense of warmth and history.

Pangur Bán is a fascinating piece of history, and I’d love to know what motivated the author to bring it into a children's story now.
