The Siamese Kittens and the Snow Leopard

“The space inside the backpack was small and cosy, and that made him feel good. And when he realised that he could smell fish treats in the outside pockets, he liked it even more.” When Lucy is given a cat backpack for Christmas she decides to take Java to the zoo. While on his adventure, Java comes face-to-face with Ciara the snow leopard. During the encounter Java learns what it means to experience fear and realise his place in the world. Ages 5 - 8 | These delightful stories with subtle Christian metaphors are perfect for children learning to read on their own who want to discover the character of God. Michael Haykin's three books follow kittens Siam, Ko-Ko and Java as they join the Quinn household in Ireland.

‘I so love the heart behind Reformation Lightning. What a gift they are to parents who want good quality, wholesome children’s books, that feel mainstream, but align with Christian values. These three books aren’t overtly Christian in their plot, which I like about them, but they do end with a bible verse which is linked to the theme of the story, such as hospitality. We found them to be fun, warm, unputdownable little books. I’d like to say we savoured them, but my son insisted we read them in one sitting. He was hooked. Independent reading books for those early on in reading that are not only engaging and have a good plot, but also wholesome, are particularly difficult to find, so these three were such a gift!’ Jessica Hadden, Life Giving Pages
