About this book
Tabby is a spicy ginger tabby who thinks he has life all figured out in Pennsylvania. He loves warm windowsills, safe streets, and curling up with his missionary family after ordinary days. Then Mom and Dad announce a surprise: God is calling them to Guatemala, to a town called Antigua.
Suddenly Tabby is facing everything he fears—shots, papers, a cat passport, airplane engines, and a whole new country. From bumpy cobblestone streets and towering volcanoes to barking street dogs and unfamiliar foods, nothing feels familiar at first.
But as days turn into months, Tabby begins to notice the everyday kindness of his new neighbors: “Buenos días” on morning walks, “Buen provecho” at little restaurants, smiles at La Torre supermarket, chats at the Panorama gas station, patient friends helping his family learn Spanish, and kids laughing together on dusty soccer fields.
Through it all, Tabby learns that missionaries don’t just come to serve; they also come to listen, learn, and be blessed. Neighbors, he discovers, are everyone God places near your path—whether in the USA or Guatemala.
This warm, true-to-life story invites readers to open their hearts to change, cross-cultural friendship, and a God whose love is bigger than borders for everyone.
