Quaky Cat by Diana Noonan
Illustrated by Gavin Bishop
A very special book created in the aftermath of the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, with proceeds going to help the recovery of the people affected.
On a cold Christchurch morning, while the city was sleeping, before the birds roused him with twitters and cheeping, curled up on the end of his friend Emma's bed, Tiger woke with a start . . . and a feeling of dread. Tiger fled from the house with a leap and a bound as, louder than thunder, from deep underground, came a roar and a shudder and terrible shaking! Around him, the city was rolling and quaking.
The Canterbury earthquake affected children in so many ways: homes gone, playgrounds destroyed, schools damaged, pets missing, favourite books and toys lost. Quaky Cat is a picture book for children throughout New Zealand - to bring comfort to those who experienced the earthquake, and understanding to the children who didn't. An evocative, uplifting story that will touch the hearts of all who read it. Includes a note to readers from both author and illustrator about their personal reactions to the quake, and musings on the earthquake from Bob Parker, Margaret Mahy and Jason Gunn.
