Sassy Tortico is falling from outer space to Earth. She finds that you don't always get what you want, can land on your feet without your tail, and all colors are beautiful. This book is for anyone who has ever had a cat, loved a cat, wanted a cat or envied a cat. The book's themes are universal-belonging, acceptance, differences, and resilience. The book is written in verse style, and the illustrations are engaging.
Children of all ages may find that at some time in their lives, they have felt, or will feel, like they are falling from outer space, just like Sassy Tortico.
