Brown-Bag It Day is a day designated to highlight the benefits of packing your lunch for work or school. To Be a Cat by Matt Haig is the story of a boy who turns into a cat, and believe me, a boy/cat has special food needs that would definitely be better met by packing a lunch from home. Barney Willow notices that cats have it made – humans adore them, they can laze around, and they don’t have a dad who’s disappeared. One day when Barney is feeling depressed, he sees a cat and wishes to be a cat. His wish is granted, but his new life makes him think that he should have been careful about what he wished for. This book is a fun and funny read that allows a quick peek at the world from a cat’s point of view while still having the problems of a boy’s world.
