Stone was having a sleep-over at Nanna and Pa’s house.

    Nanna asked Pa to make her a feed house—a special one for all her feathered

and fur animal friends. Seeing Pa had nothing else to do besides pottering around, he happily accepted this task.

    ‘What colour would you like me to paint it, dear?’

    ‘I think green would be perfect. It would match the leaves in the flowering gum tree.’

    ‘What shall we call your feeder?’ Pa asked Nanna.

    ‘Seeing we are feeding both the birds and possums,

how about ‘Feathers and Fur Café?’

Feathers and Fur Cafe by Jen Irishu ☕🐾🕊️

What the book is about:

A cozy, heartwarming story about a very special cafe where animals and people come together. At the Feathers and Fur Cafe, birds, cats, dogs, and other little creatures are welcomed — and kindness is on the menu.

The kids in the story help serve, care for the animals, and learn that everyone deserves love, food, and a safe place to belong. It’s gentle, no conflict, just lots of warmth.

Key themes:

• Compassion for animals: Caring for feathers and fur, big and small

• Community + inclusion: A place where everyone is welcome

• Kindness in action: Helping, feeding, and loving others

• Gratitude: Appreciating the joy animals bring to our lives

The vibe:

Super cozy and nurturing — like a warm cup of cocoa. Simple, easy language for young kids with that same soft, loving tone Jen Irishu uses in all her books. It feels like stepping into a safe, happy place.

Good for:

Animal lovers, sensitive kids, and anyone who likes stories about helping.
