<p><strong>Caramba is a sweet, shy cat who bravely accepts that he is different, and then discovers his own special talent.</strong></p>

<p>Award-winning author and illustrator Marie-Louise Gay, best known for her Stella and Sam books, brings us an endearing character in Caramba, a sweet, shy cat who bravely accepts that he is different, and then discovers his own special talent.</p>

<p>Caramba is a fat, furry, striped cat with a big problem. Every single cat in the world can fly, he sighs, except me!</p>

<p>Caramba would love to swoop and glide between the clouds, to feel the wind whistling through his fur. He tries to soar into the sky over and over again but always lands flat on his face, until finally he sadly accepts that he is earthbound. Don't be such a scaredy-cat, cry his cousins. All cats are meant to fly! They grab his paws and whisk him up into the sky for an impromptu flying lesson that ends with a big splash and a surprising discovery.</p>
