Blue Ethel

Ethel is old, she is fat, she is black, and she is white. She is also a cat who is very set in her ways...until the day she turns blue! BLUE ETHEL is an adorable story written and illustrated by Jennifer Black Reinhardt, showing readers that being different can be a good thing.

“Highlights the power of friendship . . . Ethel may not win any cat marathons, but she'll win hearts young and old.” —Kirkus Reviews

“There is a gentle humor to Ethel’s story, with a cozy, rhythmic text that moves the readers along in a steady but soft pace. Ethel, with her rotund, scratchily lined figure, lumbers through delicately dappled line and watercolor scenes . . . This is an easy addition to a cat-themed storytime, but be ready to break out the chalk and head outside afterward.” —The Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books
