This enchanting tale follows the journey of a curious black cat as she explores the streets, landmarks, and hidden corners of Kilkenny in search of her way home. With vibrant illustrations and a heartwarming narrative, the story captures the imagination of children and adults alike, while celebrating the charm and character of Kilkenny City.
The story unfolds across 16 storyboards placed along the 1.3km Accessibility Trail at Kilkenny Countryside Park. Families are invited to walk the trail, enjoy the fresh air, and read the story together combining literacy, outdoor activity, and local culture in one engaging experience.
Senior Executive Librarian, Aisling Kelly said “This project is about more than storytelling it’s about strengthening community connections. By showcasing the work of a local author in a shared public space, we’re inviting families to experience storytelling in a whole new way where each storyboard becomes a stepping stone in a shared adventure through Kilkenny’s landscape.”
