Amazing Grace: A True Story of a Classroom Cat

This was the day the whole class had been waiting for: Grace was coming to school.

From her first shy steps into the classroom to the laughter, comfort, and joy she brought to every child, Grace became more than just a cat — she became the heartbeat of the class.

Her story is one of patience, kindness, and love. Through playful moments, unexpected challenges, and even heartbreaking loss, the children learned about compassion, resilience, and the unforgettable ways animals leave pawprints on our hearts.

Amazing Grace: A True Story of a Classroom Cat is a touching children’s book based on real events that celebrates the magic of animals in our lives and the lessons they teach us.

✨ Perfect for children, families, classrooms, and anyone who has loved — and lost — a furry friend.

Beautiful Book

This is an amazing book! Beautifully written and illustrated. Such a heart felt story. My students loved it and it led to a very powerful discussion about the sensitive topic of death. They loved the love notes at the back of the book! Highly recommend this book!

A story that takes a difficult conversation and makes it touching and beautiful.

This darling book is lovingly written and illustrated by a mom and daughter. The story is about the author’s best friend and her classroom cat, Grace. It is a book that teaches as well as lifts the heart.

This story has as much grace as the author

A charming, thoughtful and intentional book that will warm (and mend) the heart of every child and cat lover. If you’ve ever loved (and been loved) by a cat, I can’t think of a reason why this book shouldn’t be part of your home library.

Amazing Book!

I purchased this book for one of my school libraries plus a personal copy for myself.

The illustrations done in this book by Michelle’s daughter Charlotte are so beautiful. The photos of the real life classroom cat that this book is about at the end are so cute. This book is a perfect story to read to teach children about grieving and bereavement.

A lovely book for parents and children to share.

Amazing Grace is a heart warming and true story about a teacher who adopts an abandoned cat which she shares with her class twice a week. It is a great read for students and teachers alike.
