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.

Synopsis: Imagine this book as a pair of glasses.
These glasses enable us to see the little tree that grows on the way to school, the loving look from the neighbour's dog, the bird that lands on our window sill every morning, the rays of sunlight that warm our body, and all those things that are right in front of us.

Imagine wearing those glasses every day.
What would you see? How would you feel?
Pick them up, and try them on!
See what you discover...
