The trouble started when Pepe the parrot fell in love with . . . a CAT!

And he was just the appetizer!
In this Cuban retelling of a classic folktale, Carmen Agra Deedy and Henry Cole merge their talents to create a wickedly funny and inspiring picture book that proves the smallest of creatures can sometimes possess the most surprising strength!
