📘 The cat with seven names by Tony Johnston

A wandering cat named Mungo brightens the lives of six lonely people--a widower, a woman with no one to talk to, a woman who lost a child, a man with no pets, a mother with a disabled child, and a single parent--and persuades all of them to feed him until a near accident brings them all together. Mungo's story is set against the backdrop of community life in his adopted neighborhood, and it is a coming-of-age tale that teaches readers about friendship, compassion, and the power of community.
