Le Guin wrote this highly acclaimed novel about a very special litter of kittens. Mrs. Jane Tabby has always longed to get away from the cramped alleys of the city. She knows it is too late for her, but she thinks her longing may be the reason her litter of kittens was born with wings. When they are old enough to fly, she sends the four kittens, who become known as catwings, out into the world to find their home. But they find that danger does not...

After being rescued by a flying cat, Alexander the cat decides to make good on a promise to do wonderful things.

Award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin has been praised for her gentle tales of the catwings kittens. The series' first book, Catwings, was picked as a Book to Look For by legendary Science Fiction writer Orson Scott Card. In the second catwings story, the kittens decide to visit their mother in the city. But before finding Mother, they find a very special kitten who needs their help.

Four young cats with wings leave the city slums in search of a safe place to live, finally meeting two children with kind hands.
