Welcome to Books by Octavia

Heartwarming children’s books that help little readers explore big ideas.

Welcome! I’m Octavia Lonergan, author of the Cats’ Eye View series – a collection of beautifully illustrated rhyming picture books that explore important topics through the eyes of four curious cats: Ozzy, Tibby, Leo and Mimi.

Blending charming cat characters with real-life photography, each story encourages meaningful conversations while remaining fun, engaging and memorable for young children.

Whether you’re reading together at bedtime, sharing a story in the classroom or looking for a thoughtful gift, I hope these books become favourites you’ll return to again and again.

Explore the series and discover the world through the cats’ eyes.
