My Name Is Bob

Inspired by the heartwarming true story of James Bowen, and his New York Times Best Seller A Street Cat Named Bob: And How He Saved My Life, this picture book explores the familiar tale from a different point of view... Bob's!

James and Bob are the best of friends - everywhere James goes, Bob the cat goes with him. But life wasn't always so happy for the scarf-loving tabby. In My Name is Bob, we learn what Bob's life was like before he found James. After his world was suddenly turned upside down, Bob found himself living alone on the street. His search for a new home ended when he met James, a street musician who needed Bob just as much as Bob needed him. Both children and adults will love this story of true friendship and second chances. A moving and uplifting tale (tail!) that will melt your heart.

About the Author

James Bowen was a homeless street musician who often didn't know where his next meal was coming from. He never dreamed his life would be turned around by a cat. But when Bob came into his life in 2007, James soon discovered that this seemingly ordinary street cat was exactly what he needed to make a change. Today the two can be found playing music in the streets of London and promoting the several books that have been written about their lives together.
