SumoKitty

SumoKitty by David Biedrzycki is a children's book about a stray cat who gets a job catching mice at a sumo stable, but gets too fat to do his job, leading him to train with the wrestlers to become strong again, inspired by the Japanese saying, "Fall down seven times, stand up eight". The story, featuring charming illustrations and Japanese terms with pronunciation guides, follows the cat's journey from a lazy mouse-catcher to a disciplined "SumoKitty," who ultimately helps a wrestler overcome his fear of mice.
