Miss Petitfour leads an idyllic existence with her 16 cats: Minky, Mustard, Captain Clothespin, and others. In this sequel, she still bakes and paints and dances her way through life, occasionally employing a variety of tablecloths to harness the wind and waft her way to a variety of delightful destinations, always with her feline friends in tow. This gentle book is utterly charming, featuring a story for each season. There are confetti mishaps and lost good luck charms, though the lighthearted plots matter less than the exquisite details and humorous asides. Author Michaels, widely known for her poetry, writes with a mischievous twinkle, clearly smitten with words, even highlighting and italicizing some particularly alluring vocabulary (unfurl, hamlet, protrusion, reverie) while working cheeky definitions into the text. There is more than a touch of P. L. Travers present, though Miss Petitfour is a much more amicable protagonist, and the occasional illustrations are chock-full of cheer and whimsy. A scrumptious reminder that even the smallest details and moments can hold vast amounts of magic.
