Iggy the Train Cat Published in Honor of National Pet Adoption Weekend Award-Winning Author Publishes New Children’s Book on Kindle

Orlando, FL, May 13, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Iggy The Train Cat, the first in a new children’s book series published today on Kindle in honor of National Pet Adoption Weekend, tells the story of a tiny cinnamon-colored cat with emerald eyes and a heart-shaped birthmark on his rump who is adopted in later life.

A very independent feline, Iggy makes his home near the Kew Gardens Train Station of the Long Island Railroad in Queens, New York. This is a story about how a community cared about Iggy.

Mary Mac, Iggy’s creator and author, lived the majority of her life in New York City and Long Island. She has spent her career assisting children and adults who have experienced the death of a loved one and, until now, has primarily written for that audience. Part of the proceeds of this and future Iggy books will be donated to the organization she created, The Foundation for Grieving Children, Inc. (F4GC)

Iggy’s illustrator, Thomas Barnett, is a cartoonist and illustrator who was influenced by Charles Schultz and the Peanuts comic strip. His comic strip The Lil Miesters appears daily online at GoComics.
