Award-Winning Children’s Book Series

Hello, My Name is Bunny!

Lessons in Kindness

Meet Bunny Bloom:  irrepressible, international feline do-gooder! She’s a tiny, tuxedo cat who can’t help helping others in trouble.

The first four books in this award-winning children’s chapter book series take Bunny on wild, wacky, and perilous adventures in New York City, London, Paris, and Tokyo. In each escapade, Bunny risks life and limb, (and the consternation of her human parents) by helping a friend in need.

Inspired by a real-life rescue cat, each book engages young readers with humor and adventure while sharing lessons that will inspire them to lead kind, empathetic, and compassionate lives. Purr-fect for readers ages six and older and cat lovers of every age. Choose from softcover, hardcover, or e-book. Print books are approximately 9.5” H x 8” W.

A small kitty with a big heart

Who would imagine that a small, adorable tuxedo cat could change your life? Well, it happened to us! When we adopted Bunny, we soon learned that half a million cats are homeless in NYC alone! With this in mind, we decided to find a way to help the incredible groups and volunteers that make life better for cats in need.

Our mission is to help create awareness of the plight of millions of abandoned, feral, or lost cats. We also want to raise funds to support the shelters that work so hard to help forgotten felines find loving, forever homes, and where we can, to support Trap, Neuter, and Release (TNR) groups in their efforts to responsibly manage homeless cat populations.

Through storytelling, we hope to entertain, engage, and encourage young readers and animal lovers of all ages to join us on a journey to create a kinder, more empathetic world in which everyone understands the importance of treating all animals—including humans—with respect, dignity, and compassion.

We donate to KittyKind NYC for every Hello, My Name is Bunny! book we sell on our website. Occasionally, we partner with other U.S. rescue and shelter groups, We donate for every product we sell, and are 100% committed to transparency. That’s why we always tell you exactly how much the donation is on every product. See our individual product listings for details.

Reader Reviews

After finishing this book, I was immediately consumed with jealousy. Bunny had so many fun-sounding adventures, and now I have, like, 50 things on my cat bucket list.
Thomas, That cat blog

This beautifully illustrated and equally beautifully written story will charm children and adults alike. I was pulled into the story from the very first page. As was the case with the first book, the antics of Bunny and her friends had me smiling throughout.
Ingrid King, The conscious cat
