Wonderful Alexander And the Catwings
Illustrated by S. D. Schindler.
Wonderful Alexander, the kitten who is the biggest, stongest, and
loudest in his family, thinks he is destined for wonderful things. No
sooner has he set out to explore on his own than he is chased up a tree
and stuck there. His rescuer, Jane, a black kitten with wings, leads
him to her home, where Alexander meets the other Catwings.
Alexander soon learns how he can repay Jane, who has been so wonderful to him. He helps Jane confront her greatest fear.

Ursula K. Le Guin
In a literary landscape often dominated by action and conquest, Ursula K. Le Guin carved quiet, radical paths—through forests of magic, across alien planets, and into the deep folds of human nature. Her stories didn’t shout; they asked, wondered, and listened. Through them, she reimagined what science fiction and fantasy could be—not just a reflection of our world, but a transformation of how we see it.
Born in 1929 to a family steeped in stories and scholarship—her father was an anthropologist, her mother a writer and the biographer of Ishi—Le Guin was raised among mythologies, cultural curiosity, and a profound respect for the power of narrative. These early influences are stitched into every book she wrote, from A Wizard of Earthsea to The Left Hand of Darkness.
