The Mighty Paw book is out!

Blackie the Cat’s book is HERE!

We are so excited to have copies of The Mighty Paw in hand to share with the world Blackie’s family heritage story. Dedicated to all who have suffered from blind hate, this quick read with original art by Gary Baseman reveals why and how Blackie the Cat developed his Mighty Paw.

Another long-awaited project by Gary Baseman, this charmingly designed book shows the artist and co-author’s love for early to mid-20th century graphics and books. Scaled at Randolph Caldecott’s classic illustrated storybooks, The Mighty Paw also nods to the 19th-century artist for his wit and humor.

The Mighty Paw spins an old story anew with two sides that need and want the same thing: land, water, and freedom to live.
