Watch out, mice! This cat is a sumo champion!

A stray kitty gets a job in a sumo stable, chasing mice in exchange for food. But when eating like a sumo wrestler slows our feline hero down, he realizes he must train like a wrestler, too. Through hard work and perseverance--and with a little help from a big buddy--SumoKitty is born! A funny and heartwarming story inspired by the Japanese saying "Fall down seven times, stand up eight."

Praise for SumoKitty

Praise for Breaking News: Bears to the Rescue

  • "The gorgeous illustrations are of a quality that calls to mind big-budget 3-D-animated films. That means highly detailed backgrounds packed with visual jokes . . . [and] characters who are refreshingly diverse and keenly imagined.--Booklist

    • Praise for Breaking News: Bear Alert
  • "Biedrzycki delivers a genuine message with a light touch. . . . Fun and topical."--Kirkus Reviews

    • Praise for Groundhog's Runaway Shadow
  • "Biedrzycki's fable on friendship comes to hilarious life with his bold, colorful, loopy illustrations. . . . Delightful." --Kirkus Reviews
