“The Kittician Kitty” by Patricia Viles-Antonellis will be presented as part of The Maple Staple's featured book selection during the 2026 London Book Fair. Displayed at Stand 6A100 from March 10 to 12, the title joins a curated collection of independent works highlighted by the Toronto-based bookstore, offering visitors an opportunity to discover stories grounded in personal experience and real-life inspiration.
Based on a true story, the book follows a young kitten found lost on the island of St. Kitts who is later brought to the United States and adopted by Pati and Peter. Through this journey, the narrative explores themes of loss, rescue, and the possibility of new beginnings, presenting a gentle story about finding safety, connection, and belonging after uncertainty. The book emphasizes compassion and care, illustrating how small acts of kindness can reshape a life and create a sense of home. Written with warmth and simplicity, the story offers an approachable narrative for readers drawn to heartfelt accounts centered on animals and family.
Viles-Antonellis is a former high school teacher of history and psychology whose professional background included counseling students with developmental challenges and addiction-related issues. Her travels to St. Kitts inspired the story that became her first published book, reflecting both her interest in human and emotional development and her appreciation for experiences that connect people across places and cultures.
