Illustrated by
Andréa Wesson.
Although Alma the opera-singing cat and her owner decide she's ready for her debut, Alma worries that people won't believe a cat can sing about love. She tries a disguise but ultimately goes onstage as herself. Dramatic perspectives in the expressive watercolor illustrations show the audience at first dumbfounded, then cheering for the feline diva.
