Meet Boomer, a roly-poly cat. HeâEUR(TM)s always in a happy mood, and heâEUR(TM)s the best friend of one little girl. But boy is Boomer lazy! From morning to night, Boomer can be found lounging around the house, snoring and snoozing.
Â
The little girl, on the other hand, is much too busy for a nap. SheâEUR(TM)s got judo, swimming, yoga, painting, rugby, and biking to do! She does not have a minute to herself, and she canâEUR(TM)t be late! But one particularly jam-packed morning, Boomer accidentally keeps the girl from getting out the door. Instead of panicking, she decides to take the day at BoomerâEUR(TM)s pace for once. They spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the garden, and the girl is reminded how nice it is to slow down and appreciate lifeâEUR(TM)s simple pleasures.
