Let's be friends
Connect with Tammy's storybook world
Whether you're a librarian planning story time, a teacher building a classroom library, or a family who just fell in love with a certain orange kitten — here's how to bring the stories home.
Schools & libraries
Invite Tammy (and maybe a cat story or two) to visit
Tammy is a librarian herself — story time is her natural habitat. She is passionate about visiting schools, libraries and bookstores in the future to read aloud, talk about how real pets become storybook characters, and show young readers how Sarah's watercolor illustrations bring each page to life.
Interested in a visit, a reading guide, or books for your classroom? Email Tammy at tlsheedy@hotmail.com — and mention which cat you'd like to hear about.
A visit can include
- A read-aloud of Stanley, No! or Shaw's Story
- The real (and sometimes funny) stories behind the books
- How a story goes from a naughty kitten to a finished book
- Watercolor art chat — how Sarah paints each character
- Q&A: kids ask the very best questions

Every pet has a story. What's yours?
Tammy's books began with one brave kitten. Maybe your family has a mischief maker, a brave fighter, or a best friend with four paws. The next great story could be napping in a sunbeam right beside you.
