Romeo Waits

When Romeo, a playful and curious kitten, arrives in a new home, he's full of energy and eager to make a friend. But Sapphire, the older cat, has no interest in playing-or in Romeo at all.

As Romeo tries again and again to win her over, he begins to learn that friendship can't be rushed. With time, patience, and a little understanding, even a cat who likes to be alone might find room for a friend.

Perfect for ages 2-5, Romeo Waits is a gentle picture book for toddlers and preschoolers that introduces themes of patience, empathy, and emotional growth. With soft, expressive illustrations and simple read-aloud text, this sweet story supports early social-emotional learning and helps young children understand kindness, boundaries, and how to make friends. A heartwarming choice for bedtime, preschool classrooms, or anyone looking for cat books for kids and stories about friendship.
