The 2024 New York Times / New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's BooksAn unconventional story about navigating differences and learning to be present.​When a cat and her human go for walks, the human always decides where they go and what they do.

Walking together might take some patience--but it can also lead to the most incredible surprises.

FOREWORDAt the beginning of 2024, I was invited to contribute to a project focused on women who engage in futures thinking and foresight. As a cornerstone of the project, a seminarwas planned to celebrateInternational Women’s Day. In preparation for the event, a vibrant exchange unfolded in a WhatsApp group.
