I think this little girl and this little cat in this book, they could have been any color,” said Redding-Andrews. “Kids today are just over figuring out color so much, and people are people. The song really informed the story so much.” So, I wanted this story to have that bit of an arc where there was sort of a struggle. “Everyone kind of has warm-fuzzy, happy feelings with, but when I really listened to it, there’s a bit of melancholy to it.
“In order to make that relatable, I came up with this story about this little cat who is trying to catch his dinner and just can’t catch a break - but finally has a friend to show some kindness at the very end of the book,” she continued. I wanted to really sit down and listen to the lyrics and try and understand the feeling and the meaning and relate that for kids,” O’ Connor said. … I wanted to obviously try and honor this song it’s such a classic. “I had wonderful inspiration, which was the song itself. The song was ranked number four on Billboard’s year-end Hot 100 chart, going on to win two Grammy awards in 1968. “ (Sittin’ on) The Dock of The Bay” was one of the last songs Redding wrote before his tragic death in 1967. She continued, “He traveled two-thousand miles from home just to make the dock his home.” It’s amazing the excitement it brings to the eyes of kids when they see his journey traveling through ‘(Sitting on) The Dock of The Bay,'” Redding-Andrews said. He’s sitting in the morning sun, and he will be sitting there until the evening comes. “The illustrations with the little cat just really reflect that he will be sitting until the evening come, waiting to catch his dinner of fish.
