About the Kittens
Welcome to our home!
Please feel free to look around, browse and roam.
We are curious, fun loving, good hearted kittens.
At times we are careless and troublesome; other times we listen.
We are responsible and caring, naughty and foolish.
We pay attention, love to help, but never ever bullish.
We want to do our best every day.
We often discover that it is not as easy as.. a child’s play..
We try to be brave, but get scared sometimes, unable to roar.
And each morning, just like you, we wish to be better than the day before.
Hugs, Ooli & Tooli
About the Author
May I share an Heirloom with you?
My name is Ora, and I am the author of the new ‘Ooli & Tooli’ new book series.The stories were created in my family over generations,
across continents and in a different culture. They resonate of universal values, that transcend today’s digital lifestyle.
Ooli & Tooli were first conceived by my father, Sam, many years ago and in a very different world. My father was not a man of words. In fact, he did not speak much. But, he did leave us with a special legacy – a bedtime story for my sister and me about two kittens.
Over the years, the names, Ooli & Tooli, have become household names and the tradition continued when my first grandson was born. When an Ooli & Tooli story became the one to ‘seal the deal’ at bedtime, I have decided to put them in writing for future generations. I wish our family’s heirloom becomes your favorite family tradition as well.
Our lives rarely go unchallenged and as planned, and no story can change that. But acquiring the skills and resilience to face hardships, adjust to new situations and solve problems, can help our kids sail safely through them.
Yours, Ora
About the Illustrator
Lucia Benito, our talented illustrator, was born in Buenos Aires and currently lives in Bolivia with her family. She is the one, who makes the kittens look so real and lovable.
Lucia has been drawing ever since she can remember and considers herself fortunate for being able to work at something she loves and so very good at. She was immediately able to capture the spirit of the kittens and everything the series represents. In her own words: “I truly believe that the greatest joy of being an illustrator is to witness the happiness of the writer when they see their written words turn into images that had only existed in their imagination. I firmly believe that a better world is possible starting from the small things.”
