Tikki
Book Two, Story Four; Book Three, Story One; Book Five, Story Two; Book Six, Story Two
Tikki is a gray-and-white cat that was born at my farm to my barn cat, Misty. This was the only litter Misty delivered before I got her spayed. Tikki was the only girl in the litter of four. Her brothers are Tattoo, Tinker and Totem, also featured in stories in several books. Tikki is special in every way. She is soft and friendly and loves to be petted. Tikki was the perfect cat to pick for the story about Mr. Mottle in Book Two, Story Four, since she is so curious and friendly. If Mr. Mottle would have had a cat friend at Green Apple Acres, it would be Tikki!
Tikki is the sweetest cat in the world! She is curious and often just sits or lays and watches all the activity at the farm. Sometimes Tikki sits in the stall I am cleaning and just keeps me company. Tikki has a very innocent expression on her pretty face. The real Tikki never actually wanders too far from the barn, but in Book Three, Story One, Tikki wanders to where she is not allowed to go…the far fields. I picked Tikki, my barn cat, for this story because she is so sweet. If ever there was a cat at my barn that would want a “shining star” gift for her mother, it would be Tikki! You can also read about Tikki’s mother, Misty, and her brothers, Tattoo, Totem and Tinker that also live at my farm.
What Our Readers Say…
Cynthia came to North Side Elementary for an author’s visit assembly for students at our elementary school. Each classroom had prepared for her visit by reading Adventures at Green Apple Acres. The stories were engaging and fun. Each story taught a life lesson to which students could easily relate. The children were very excited for the presentation and Cynthia didn’t let them down. She was wonderful. She showed the kids pictures of the real animals that the characters in her stories were based on. She talked about the writing process and inspired our young authors to keep up their hard work.
