Perfect by Theresa Loo
Theresa Loo's delightful debut Perfect has been named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2023 and is a heartwarming story about finding an ideal pet for one's family and making a new friend. Perfect is about an old shelter cat named Scruff who's been left behind because of his age, weight and the scar on his nose.As the years pass, Scruff's afraid he'll never find a home, but one day a little girl named Parker comes along and everything changes. She loves Scruff for all the reasons he'd been rejected in the past and thinks he's "perfect" just the way he is.Beverly Arce's (Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man) expressive illustrations are an excellent match for Theresa Loo's delightful story about seeing the beauty in someone that no one else can see. Scruff and Parker's heartwarming friendship reminds us that sometimes "perfect" is something you didn't expect.Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewKirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2023-Goodreads
