What is Moses the Kitten about?

On a bitterly cold day, a tiny kitten is discovered shivering beside a frozen pond. Taken to a Yorkshire farm, he is carefully nursed back to health by kind-hearted people and caring animals. Soon, Moses is strong enough to explore his new home, where he makes a surprising choice about which animal is his mother. This gentle, heart-warming tale celebrates kindness, belonging and the unexpected friendships that can grow on a busy farm.
