Leslie Oberhofer's "Siggie's Big City Adventure" Explores Courage and Connection

Leslie Oberhofer, a social worker at a therapeutic day school, has published "Siggie's Big City Adventure," a new children's book that offers a unique exploration of courage and connection. The book, released by Page Publishing, centers around Siggie, a curious Himalayan cat who escapes from his New York City apartment and embarks on a transformative journey through the vibrant streets of Manhattan.

Oberhofer’s professional background as a social worker and her experience with therapy cats have deeply influenced the story. "I wanted to create a story that honors both the emotional intelligence children possess and the transformative power animals bring to our lives," Oberhofer said. "Siggie's journey reflects what I've learned from my students and my therapy cat, that growth happens when we remain open, curious, and kind."

In "Siggie's Big City Adventure," Siggie meets three unlikely guides: Sir Reginald Whiskerton the Rat, a perceptive Pigeon, and a patient Bumble Bee. Through their encounters, Siggie learns valuable lessons about friendship, belonging, and the beauty found in everyday moments. The book's rhythmic prose and humorous interactions with the characters make it a delightful read for young audiences.
