Synopsis
Summary
Margaux and her cat May became friends when Margaux was just six years old. They grew up together, sharing countless memories along the way. But one day, May is late coming home. Where is May? Is she under the porch? Maybe on the roof?
Margaux’s nitôsis (the Cree word for auntie) helps search for May in the tall grass. But soon nitôsis needs to leave: she’s moving away to the big city, and has to pack her things into boxes. Margaux helps nitôsis, but she can’t take her mind off May. Will she ever return? nitôsis is worried, too. But little do they know, May has a surprise in store for both of them!

Reviews
The Horn Book: "Cree-Métis creator Flett personalizes the plot through her signature textured illustrations, adding depth and comfort to Margaux and May’s lush rural home, and with the incorporation of Plains Cree vocabulary... At the same time, Flett celebrates the universality of this kind of story and concludes hers by encouraging readers who have known the stress of a missing pet—and the relieved exasperation once they’ve been found—to share their own experiences."
