SAM: The Cat Without a Tail” is a children’s picture book. Sam, the central character, is a Manx cat, and so, sports a soft puff of white fur instead of a tail. This is Sam’s story, his discovery that he is, indeed, different than most cats, his heartbreak over this discovery, and finally, how he resolves these feelings.

More than ever, we need if not an understanding, then certainly a tolerance for diversity. Parents and teachers reading this story with their children can use this it as a springboard to talk about how people come in all shapes, sizes and colors, yet each is wonderful and “right” in their own way.

It is a colorful picture book that is a great conversation starter between kids and parents and teachers about diversity and being accepting of everyone’s differences. There’s no better time to start this conversation than now.

Sam’s story will change children’s lives and teach them to be more accepting and kind to others.

“I highly recommend this book, SAM: The Cat Without a Tail, for the young child in your life. I gave it to my young niece as a gift, and she loved it. She asked to have it read to her multiple times. And having read it myself, I understand why. It’s truly a heart-warming story with a meaningful lesson woven in.” Judy Graybill, International Relationship Coach

“Sam: The Cat Without A Tail follows the trials of Sam, a young Manx cat with a handsome, soft, white puff of a tail. As he discovers that he is indeed different from everyone around him, he learns and helps to teach the importance and beauty of diversity and self-worth.

“An original, entertaining, and thoroughly ‘kid friendly’ picture book specifically written for children ages 3 to 7 by Gloria Lintermans, and charmingly illustrated by Kristina Tosic, “Sam: The Cat Without A Tail” is particularly and especially recommended for family, (child) daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections.” Children’s Bookwatch
