A wonderful book

A beautiful, wonderful book. The artist and her cat will become a part of your life, hopes, and dreams. The subject matter sounds scary but the story transcends that with the joy of life.

More Than Words

I picked The Watercolor Cat from its display and stood in the bookstore aisle until the last page. I bought copies that evening for my wife and me, for my son's family, and for our soon-to-be-born first grandchild. Boo the cat, Peggy, and Shelly speak with words and paintings of the things that are really important in life...simple joy and humor in every day things...values that I want to share with my family and friends. I can' think of a better holiday gift. Thank you Peggy, Shelly, and Boo.

A Book for Those Young at Heart

This is the first time Peggy Chun's stunning paintings are all available in one place for a very reasonable price. As an absolute bonus, she shares with you, through the eyes of Boo, her wonderous, wise, and very famous feline, her deepest, most personal feelings. The affliction that for most of us would hold us hostage, but for Peggy, incredible, amazing, inspirational Peggy Chun, is just another avenue to allow her to express what moves her soul to create, without intermission, the images that have made her the famous artiste that she is. If you found your way to this book, consider yourself blessed by an angel with a paradisical pallette that has been painted from through both of her hands, her teeth, her eyes and her mind. Use your own mind's eye to eat up the fruit of a tree of life that will never stop giving.

A Delight

The Watercolor Cat is a delight from beginning to end. Boo - the story's narrator, shares the incredible and inspiring story of artist Peggy Chun's delight in painting and in life as she faces the challenges of learning to live with ALS - Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Boo tells us of Peggy's joys and adjustments as ALS changes the way Peggy paints. And Boo was there to see it all - she arrived just as Peggy sold her very first painting and was at her side (and in her paintings!) as Peggy's prominence grew. The journey that Boo, The Watercolor Cat, takes you on is both joyful and delightful and Peggy's wonderful art and loving spirit provides the reader with incredible inspiration.

The Watercolor Cat

This book is a must for every home! The author is an inspiration for young as well as the "more mature". Her story is a reminder to cherish life and it's adventures. The art alone is worth way more than the price of the book!
