As an overview, the Nick the Wise Old Cat Series books are warm, lovable, and soon-to-be classic stories presented through the eyes of Nick, the "wise old cat" influenced by the world around him and the special loving relationship he has with his Nice Lady caregiver. How I Found My Family is the first of three books within Series I, The Importance of Family from the Nick the Wise Old Cat five series offering. Together with Book Two, How My Family Grew Overnight, and Book Three, How My Family Changed, young readers will learn about the importance and diversity of relationships that constitute family. Nick is a very observant and inquiring fellow and, as a rescued animal, offers the reader a greater sensitivity and appreciation for life, family, and the importance of human relationships.

In How I Found My Family, Nick takes his young readers back to the beginning when he was just a young kitten finding himself and his sister up for adoption at Frank's Furry Friends. Follow his odyssey from loss to attachment as the Nice Lady walks into his life one day and they become family. Taking place around the Thanksgiving holidays, the story reinforces not only the importance for reflection and thankfulness during this special holiday, but also the importance of family and how we all need to be thankful for ours.

As an overview, the Nick the Wise Old Cat Series books are warm, lovable, and soon-to-be classic stories presented through the eyes of Nick, the "wise old cat" influenced by the world around him and the special loving relationship he has with his Nice Lady caregiver. How My Family Changed is the third of three books within Series I, The Importance of Family from the Nick the Wise Old Cat five series offering.

Nick is a very observant and inquiring fellow and, as a rescued animal, offers the reader a greater sensitivity and appreciation for life, family, and the importance of human relationships.

In How My Family Changed, Nick defines a path for all young readers to consider when they are challenged with change and the need to control the emotional highs and lows often encountered during times of change. Whether the change is the acceptance of a new brother or sister into a family, a change in schools, or forging new friendships, Nick shows us that if we allow it, change can often be a good thing. Nick's eventual openness to change and acceptance of a homeless kitten into his family, which is the change he is challenged to accept, is both heroic and self-redeeming.
