About the Book
Jack the Hiking Cat
Join Jack as he embarks on his magical journeys through the seasons, where friendship and happiness flourish amid stunning forest scenery. Set off on a charming adventure with Jack, the brave feline, as he explores the marvels of nature and experiences the joy of friendship.
This photographic picture book is lavishly illustrated with color photos. The story begins with a delightful cat meandering along a mossy path in the woods. Little did he know that this journey would reveal a new chapter in his life, leading him to eventually receive a name.
Children will resonate with his thrill in finding friendship.
A name can be a treasured gift, even for a hiking cat.

About the Author
Betty Ranck
Betty Ranck is a former Children's Librarian and a nature photographer. She lives in Southeast Ohio with her husband, three gregarious cats, and an energetic Great Pyrenees puppy. Her daughter and family bring joy during their visits as the grandchildren excitedly explore the paths.
Jack has always been a very agreeable cat, and she has been capturing his images for years. He appears to relish the attention.
Betty is devoted to early literacy and believes in the significance of sharing books with children. She advocates for taking a moment to sit quietly with a book, read the story, and discuss the illustrations. You'll be glad you took the time to do so.
