Annie’s Cat Is Sad
Annie, a passionate red-headed child, comes home from school and is concerned about the well-being of her cat Delilah. Annie is convinced that her cat has had a bad day and is in need of some consoling. She suggests many helpful ways to cope with a bad day; yoga, watching TV, and drinking something warm. As the story progresses, it becomes clear to Delilah that Annie is really the one who is having a bad day. When Delilah sees Annie’s failure, she attempts to cheer her up and helps her red-headed friend feel less alone.
