“Don’t be afraid to adopt a cat because he or she is black. Inside them is a heart that will love you right back.”
– an excerpt from the book
Author Reputation Press is glad to announce the release of “I’m Only Black” by Barbara Wicklman. This is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, ARP website, and other leading online bookstores.
Author Barbara Wicklman delights in teaching children and writing children’s stories. This is her first published book for children. Her love for animals inspired her to write this book. She currently lives in Massachisetts.
Barbara shared that she wrote this book for children to begin to understand that color black is a color, not a reason because of Halloween superstitions to exclude Black cats from being good pets.
The author additionally shared how she saw a black cat sprint onto the field during a baseball game in a stadium a few years ago. The audience began throwing beverages and popcorn at it while laughing and having fun. The cat was probably lost and needed help. It brought her to tears to see the cat feeling lost and just throwing things like that.
She wants children to learn from this book that black cats are wonderful pets rather than the “bad luck” that society portrays them to be.
“I’m Only Black” by Barbara Wicklman presents the story of Blackie, a fluffy black cat who wants children to know that black cats are wonderful pets. He tries to help children understand that cats who have black fur are the best! They are wonderful companions with loving hearts.
