Artemis and the Night Sky Kittens

Farnaz Zirakbash

An uplifting children's story about love, death and a kitten's enduring friendship

When two stray kittens wander into Artemis’s life, she discovers they are twice as nice to play with – and double trouble to look after. Artemis feeds them formula five times a day, washes their faces and helps them take their first steps.

When one of the kittens gets sick, the vet has shocking news, and Artemis must make a difficult choice. Will she be brave enough to face the challenges ahead? And what happens when you lose someone you love? How does a broken heart mend and keep on loving, brave and true?

An uplifting story that celebrates the enduring bonds between children and their pets, during life and after death. Courage, care and imagination enable one young girl to grow a bigger heart – in spite of the risk.
