When a cat and her human go for walks, the human always decides where they go and what they do. “But what if it were the other way around?” the cat asks one day. So the next time, the human follows the cat. When the cat is in control, she wants to stop more often, and she wants to chase squirrels and climb up trees. Her human finds all these detours ridiculous. But when you walk at a cat’s pace, you can see the most amazing things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68c9c50d47ee9a727320cdbc/af49f598-c6d5-499f-a26c-1bc866261e39/Switzerland.jpg Book Bank News - Read Around the World: A Children’s Book from Every Country in the World Cup  - SWITZERLAND Pitschi, Hans Fischer Of old Lisette's five kittens, Pitschi is the smallest and most delicate.

Luckily, old Lisette finds the kitten and takes it home. The next day, Pitschi is sick – but not for long, because everyone spoils and cares for the kitten, and soon he's able to celebrate with the other animals. Pitschi realizes that being a kitten really is the best thing ever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68c9c50d47ee9a727320cdbc/a7a20236-1e9c-4c64-b9bb-de81b544ff3e/Tunisia.jpg Book Bank News - Read Around the World: A Children’s Book from Every Country in the World Cup  - TUNISIA My Hands, Néjib A wonderous exploration of all the amazing things we can do with our hands ­– perfectly pitched for the youngest of readers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68c9c50d47ee9a727320cdbc/f561a787-9106-47d4-86ac-1134e3522628/Turkiye.jpg Book Bank News - Read Around the World: A Children’s Book from Every Country in the World Cup  - TURKIYE A Friend in Winter, Feridun Oral Leo is one bored housecat.

Our corporate volunteer opportunities allow local businesses to give back to the community in a meaningful way while engaging their employees in cooperative efforts that promote teamwork and boost morale. If you are interested in learning more about corporate volunteer opportunities with The Children's Book Bank, please connect with Hugh Lawson, Senior Advisor, Partnerships at hugh@childrensbookbank.com.
