Tea Leaves Publishing creates character-building stories for children. My books are thoughtfully written and inspired by true stories and everyday moments. These stories focus on kindness, emotional awareness, and respect for the natural world—encouraging children to slow down, notice, and care: for animals, for others, and for themselves. Through gentle storytelling and calm imagery, each book offers connection with the world around us and meaningful lessons that feel natural rather than instructional.

Tea Leaves Publishing books plant values that stay with children long after the story ends.

KiKi the Cat is a true story about a gentle stray who slowly finds his place in the world.

As KiKi wanders through a quiet neighborhood, he watches from fences and gardens, unsure where he belongs. Patient neighbors notice him and offer small acts of kindness — a bowl of food, a safe place to rest, and time to feel comfortable. No one rushes KiKi. Instead, trust is allowed to grow at its own pace.

Through consistent care, KiKi begins to learn that people can be safe, and that trust does not have to be hurried. Little by little, the stray who once watched from a distance discovers what it means to belong.

This gentle, heartfelt story celebrates patience, compassion, and the quiet ways animals and humans find each other. KiKi the Cat is a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful journeys happen slowly — and that every heart deserves a place to call home.
