Jill Biden Gives a 'Cat's-Eye View' in New Picture Book About the White House Cat

Dr. Jill Biden is writing a new book about a close feline friend.

The First Lady, 72, announced that she will be publishing the children’s book, Willow the White House Cat, this summer. The book is cowritten with award-winning children’s author Alyssa Satin Capucilli and illustrated by Kate Berube, and will be published by Paula Wiseman Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing.

The book follows Willow, the Biden family’s tabby cat, and her adjustment to living in the White House after she was adopted from a farm in Pennsylvania. Willow soon discovers that there is much to explore in her new home in D.C., and new people to meet at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as well.

“As Willow bounds from room to room, exploring history in her new home, she learns quickly about all of the incredible people who make the ‘People’s House’ run,” Biden said in a statement shared with PEOPLE.

if all 70 million Biden Voters bought a copy.......and kept it at the top of the Best Sellers List for months all the way to the election, just to F with Repubs, Trump, and his merry band of Trumphumpers????????

Makes no difference to me, I don't own a cat, I am strictly a Dog person, but I would buy it just to get in the Repubs faces......

I hope all Republicons ban it. There is nothing like banning a book in America that increases sales so much.

Just ask Michael Moore.

and for the most part only tolerated them when forced to occupy the same space. My family were dog people, and I was raised with one and never had a cat so my exposure to cats was limited. But, I've been living with cats for some time now and I must admit, they are sooooo much easier to care for.

I think I will pre-order a copy and donate it to the school.
She says that the kids love animal books-
"Willow" will go on the shelf next to "And Tango Makes Three".
When you live in the desantis state, you just wait around until they ban a kids book, buy a copy and donate it to the school.
-not that they will find a reason to ban this one, but you never know...
