'Abdul'Baha's Little Brown Cat
This is a story for children of all ages
in commemoration of the centenary of the passing
of 'Abdu'l-Bahá in November 1921.
All people and events in the story are historical,
verified with relevant references and sources.
It's clear from contemporary records
that 'Abdu'l-Bahá had a brown cat at this time,
the only fiction in the story being the suggestion
that His cat was often on hand to observe
what was taking place. What the cat does
and thinks are the only fiction in the story.

Reviews
A delightful book about ‘Abdu’l-Bahá from the
unique perspective of an endearing little cat -
Abdu’l-Bahá’s Little Brown Cat captures some of
the sweetest moments from the last few years of
‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s life in Haifa.
(Shirin Taherzadeh)
Simply and skilfully told, the reader is transported
from the outset to the busy and vibrant home
of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in Haparsim Street, Haifa -
The book’s charming illustrations enhance our love
for the story’s main protagonist - Little Brown Cat -
through whose quirky and intelligent eyes we witness
and feel the excitement of those extraordinary times.
