Willow the White House Cat -- Jill Biden, Hardcover

The story of how Willow the White House Cat made her way from a farm in Pennsylvania to her new home, the White House, and made new friends along the way, written by First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden.

When Willow leaves her cozy barn for Washington, DC, and the big white house where she will now live, Willow discovers new rooms to explore and is welcomed by the nice lady she met at Farmer Rick's farm. Soon, Willow meets so many new people--one who arranges the flow-ers, another who makes sweet things to eat, and the man with a nice smile who seems to be able to do everything at once. Even though they are much bigger and busier than she is, each of them always seems to have time to say hello and make her feel at home in the big white house. Willow enjoys discovering the White House and all the special people who make this house a home.

Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States, an educator, and a New York Times bestselling author, tells the story of Willow, the White House cat, and about the very special place she and President Biden call home.
