“Empático, poético y una alegría de ver, lindo gatito y todo.” —Kirkus Reviews (reseña destacada)

Un gatito callejero cambia la forma en que el vigilante nocturno ve la noche en este tierno libro basado en una historia real, ilustrado por la artista de Strictly No Elephants, Taeeun Yoo.

El vigilante nocturno se despide de su esposa e hijos y conduce al trabajo donde está solo, haciendo sus rondas cada hora. Ve las estrellas parpadear y escucha los sonidos de la noche… hasta que son interrumpidos por ladridos y maullidos—¡una persecución en progreso!

Cuando el vigilante rescata al gatito callejero, de repente la noche parece diferente. ¿Ha encontrado el gatito un nuevo hogar?

La gatita y el vigilante nocturno está inspirada en la historia real del autor John Sullivan al encontrarse con un gato callejero mientras trabajaba como vigilante nocturno. El gato, Beebe, fue el compañero de John durante diecisiete años.
