When you sigh, this cat, Chu-hu, will be there for you, leading to anywhere you can relax and chill. On the top of a mountain or a field with flowers, you can breathe deeply, run as fast as you can against the wind and have a good laugh, which would take a load off your mind. Then, he offers a magic spell, “Castropollux” which means ‘be happy at all times’ has originated from Greek and Roman mythology. This story begins with the author/illustrator’s cat, Hu-chu. When she was depressed or exhausted, Hu-chu sits on her lap purring, and she found that sound supporting and comforting her. The author worked this book hoping readers can take comfort and feel happy from it.
