New Releases by Terese Jungle

A funny, emotional, true cat tale for urban, creative, progressive types looking for something different to read to kids or just enjoy for themselves. Includes 72 full-color cartoon illustrations in a rustic, doodle style.A cat allergy sets the stage for this colorful romp through cartoons and collage in which a cat named Chicken finds her way into the arms and affection of TJ--an artist in search of adventure and meaning."Chicken: A Comic Cat Memoir" tracks life with TJ as the two zig-zag between coasts, encountering a diverse collection of friends along the way. The story suggests that divine intervention brought them together and layers this theme with the restlessness of youth and the search for love and belonging; the joy and pain of birthing art and new life; the mysterious elements of the human experience; and finally, the acceptance that souls must move on.A hybrid graphic novel/picture book, "Chicken" appeals to children and to all who believe in a creative approach to life and the magic of synchronicity; who are drawn to creative nonfiction and autobiographical comics; and who love reading and discussion with their kids. Rich in intelligence, humor, and educational tidbits, "Chicken" is for anyone who has ever had a soul connection with a pet, most especially a cat.
