(3) K-3 A solitary kitten is rescued, taken to a shelter, and adopted by a loving family. Lyrical text with the refrain "day by day" chronicles his journey. Slowly "Swan" settles in, concluding that "each day [is] perfect." Realistic watercolor illustrations contrast the kitten's life on the dangerous, colorless streets with the growing cat's safe, warm new home; Swan's movement and expressions are authentically, irresistibly feline.
