CAT and PIG

Stories about friendship, adventure, curiosity, and occasionally questionable decision-making.

Written and illustrated by Michael R. Fletcher.


Short. Warm. Inviting.

CAT and PIG began as a simple story about two very different friends learning how to navigate the world together.

Along the way, the series grew into stories about kindness, curiosity, humor, problem-solving, and seeing the world through different perspectives.

The books are designed for young readers, families, classrooms, and anyone who still appreciates a good story and a little heart.
