Sam: The Cat Without A Tail by follows the trials of Sam, a young Manx cat with a soft, white puff of a tail. As he discovers that he is indeed different from everyone around him, he learns and helps to teach the importance and beauty of diversity and self-worth.
Sam: The Cat Without A Tail is a marvelous children’s picture book written by Gloria Lintermans and Illustrated by Kristina Tosic. It is a charming story with a meaningful message on self-acceptance and touches the very heart of the reader and child.
Sam is a white Manx kitten who has just been adopted into the home of a young boy named Alex. Sam is fully loved and accepted by Alex, and his family, however the neighborhood cats begin to make him aware of the fact that he has no tail and is noticeably different than all of the other cats. Being teased about his tail, Sam begins to feel bad about himself.
Then, Aunt Marsha arrives and she helps Sam to accept himself for who he is and he soon learns that being different is not a bad thing, but is actually a wonderful thing. Thanks to Aunt Marsha, Sam feels better and begins to accept and love himself just as he is.
Sam: The Cat Without Tail teaches children to accept others who look different, and that being different makes others unique in a special way.

The story proved to be engaging when it captured, delighted and held the attention of my own young children.
