Reading Time Online review by Romi Sharp http://readingtime.com.au/the-sea-cat-dreams/I am adding The Sea Cat Dreams as a good resource in my new book, "Life and Loss" [3rd edition]. Linda Goldman, FT, MS counselling, ME early childhood education, LCPC, NBCC www.childrensgrief.netI would definitely use The Sea Cat Dreams with my clients, young and old. Youla Overbey MA, LLPCThe Sea Cat Dreams is a book I would wholeheartedly recommend. Claire Casha, Master in Family Studies, over ten years' experience of family therapy. Clinicians who treat children coping with change... will want to keep this book on their bookshelf [as] a valuable resource ... I highly recommend [it]. Barbara Cunningham, Psy.D., MFTreview by Jennifer DouglasWhat can I say about The Sea Cat Dreams but Wow! The realism of [Muza Ulasowski's] work puts the reader right ... within the book. She truly is an artist to be adored. The message of love and loss is hidden nicely within the adventures of the life of this cat but is clear enough for it to be addressed should the need arise. Coping with change also speaks clearly within this book and would be great used with a child who is sensitive to change in their lives. This book captivates, elates and moves. This is a book that shows the high quality that is available in children's literature. Review by Dr. Virginia LowePoulter's text is in gentle rhyming verse, and Ulasowski's paintings are rich and realistic. It is valuable for children to have picture books covering all aspects of life (and death).

Many clinicians recognize that denying or ignoring grief issues in children leaves them feeling alone and that acknowledging loss is crucial part of a child’s healthy development. Really dealing with loss in productive ways, however, is sometimes easier said than done. For decades, Life and Loss has been the book clinicians have relied on for a full and nuanced presentation of the many issues with which grieving children grapple as well as an honest exploration of the interrelationship between unresolved grief, educational success, and responsible citizenry. The third edition of Life and Loss brings this exploration firmly into the twenty-first century and makes a convincing case that children’s grief is no longer restricted only to loss-identified children. Children’s grief is now endemic; it is global. Life and Loss is not just the book clinicians need to understand grief in the twenty-first century—it’s the book they need to work with it in constructive ways.

Inspired by a true story, a fictional reimagining of a cat named Simon whose heroism and feline charisma won over the crew of a British warship just after World War II. Discovered in the Hong Kong docks in 1948 and smuggled onboard the H.M.S Amethyst by a British sailor who takes pity on the malnourished kitten, Simon quickly acclimates to his new water-borne home. The friendly feline soon established himself as the chief rat-catcher, while also winning the hearts of the entire crew. Then the Amethyst is ordered to sail up the Yangtze River to take over the guarding of the British Embassy, but the ship comes under fire from Communist guns. Tragedy strikes and many of the crew are killed and Simon is among those seriously wounded. Luckily, with the help of the ship’s doctor, the brave cat makes a full recovery and is soon spending time with the injured men, purring and keeping their spirits up. News of Simon’s heroics in dangerous wartime seas spreads and he becomes famous worldwide—but it is still a long journey back to England for both the crew and the plucky little cat known as “Able Seacat Simon”…
