In 'A Lesson My Cat Taught Me', Jennifer and her mother find a friendly, abandoned cat. Upon bringing it home, they soon discover that it only has one eye. Jennifer calls the cat Uno, and learns that despite it's disability, Uno is capable of doing more things than her other cat, Mr. Tickles. When Hillary, who is in a wheelchair becomes a classmate, Jennifer sees her as a friend rather than a girl with a disability because of the lesson Uno has taught her.

It was the antics of my two cats which inspired me to write what I feel is an enchanting story about unconditional love and compassion. The story is a unique exploration of life lessons common to us all. Written is a casual, personal way my book should appeal to readers of every age
Excerpt
Jennifer finally had a chance to examine her new cat's face. She noticed her new pet had only one eye. "Mom, our new cat has one eye!" cried Jennifer.
"Don't cry honey ... maybe that's the reason no one wanted her," her mom said.
"Why would someone 'throw' her away? That's a terrible thing to do! Why didn't someone take her to a shelter, so she could find a new home?"
"I can't answer your question, but now it doesn't matter. She definitely has a new home with us," her mother exclaimed.
