CATS OF THE FLOATING WORLD

Ms. Cat's latest work of picture book purr-fection is a pictorial narrative of the feline world in the style of medieval Japanese ukiyo-e, the colored woodblock prints of everyday life that are famous throughout the world.

CATS OF THE FLOATING WORLD is quirky and super cute picture book about cats. it's a modern take on the Japanese art form of ukiyo-e, but replacing all the human characters with cats. Divided into four sections/seasons, it depicts the everyday life of cats in a world that's similar to our own, but one without the bother of humans. There are some knowing references to Taiwanese and Japanese culture that make us laugh.

Follow our cat characters through all four seasons – spring, summer, autumn, winter – as they live, work, learn, and play. The aesthetic brilliance of this book's presentation makes it a delight for young people and adults alike. Simple, strong lines and bright colors invoke an ethereal world, in which readers can immediately lose themselves.
