Jonathan is a paramedic and rescued a kitten after a tornado tore through Brimfield a few years ago. He adopted the kitten, wrote a book about him, and now brings Toto to libraries around the state. While Jonathan reads, Toto sits beside him in a chair. Every child, who wants to, gets to pat Toto before they leave.
