Mildred the Gallery Cat

Jono Ganz is an author, illustrator and animator. He lives and works in London, in the home he shares with his wife, son, adopted cat, and a 19th century weaving loom. His debut book for children, Mildred the Gallery Cat, was published in 2022 by Tate Publishing. It was shortlisted for the 2023 Klaus Flugge Prize for illustration, and has been translated into multiple languages.

"A bold debut indeed. Bold colours and a brilliant story inspired by a true cat who lives at the Tate Modern. I found the use of language and illustrations to be perfectly in tune with an art lover, someone who appreciates a gallery and can express themselves creatively. An exceptional story that would begin conversations with KS2 readers around art, galleries and emotions expressed."— Erin Hamilton, Just Imagine
