Katje the Windmill Cat
August 8, 2021 by Sarah Laucks

The tale of a wonderful true story that took place centuries ago. Those who love cats and history and true stories will appreciate this book. As will those who like to learn about unexpected heroes. I also wrote a feature article on this book – you can read it here.

From the Book:

“On November 5, 1421, St. Elizabeth’s Day,

a violent storm blew in from the North Sea,

breaking through the dikes and flooding a small village in South Holland.”

Gretchen Woelfle, Katje the Windmill Cat
