From the author of Ribbons of Blue in My Sky, Mariarosa Pajer-Raffel, this is a fictional story inspired by her daughter Irene's Twin Cats, Nicolina and Nicoletta, so named because they were born on St. Nicolaus day, December 6th. These two cats travel to Italy, specifically to Val Gardena, Queen of the Alps, for adventures. And adventures they found . . . .

   "[Told] with such wonderful description that one wants to get on the next plane and experience the country first-hand. It is a story that will appeal to both younger children and adults."
