Lonely is a Tabby (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998923838)

A Feelings Are Friends(TM) Story

From the creator of the 2025 Moonbeam Award-Winning Anger Is a Hedgehog.

Jax is searching for a place to belong.

He tries his best to fit in with the wildcats in the woods-but no matter what he does, no one seems to notice.

When sadness settles in, Jax begins to wonder if something's wrong with him. But just when he's ready to give up, a quiet, unexpected friendship begins to bloom... one that shows him he's been seen all along.

Lonely Is a Tabby is a tender story about exclusion, belonging, and the quiet strength it takes to stay open to connection-even when your heart has been hurt.

Part of the Feelings Are Friends(TM) series, this book was created by Licensed Professional Counselor and author Debra Roy, whose gentle, emotionally attuned stories are rooted in real-life therapeutic insight. Each book is designed to help children name, understand, and move through big feelings with compassion.

Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom conversation, or therapeutic use, this story reminds us all that sometimes, the right kind of friend is closer than we think.
