Synopsis: Mirabel is truly a cat of the world. A Canadian-born black and white cat with green eyes, her paws are white, like the winter snow.

Mirabel agreed to follow my family around the world in my travels as a diplomat, and in each place, she learned to speak the language. She spoke English and French, Japanese and Arabic, Russian, ... and probably many more. I recently discovered that she was studying Khmer to prepare for a visit to Cambodia.

One morning, Mirabel asked me if I could use my keyboard to narrate her experiences as a cat, traveller, linguist, and avid book reader.

Here is Mirabel's story, in her own words.

🎁 Recommended from 6 to 16 years old.
