Her owner, a poor artist [in ancient Japan], is not very lucky until Good Fortune comes to live with him. No one buys his paintings, so he has very little money to live on.

He knows she wants to be in the painting, but if he puts her in, the picture he will be ruined. How can he choose between success and his loyal cat? A series of Buddhist legends are cunningly woven into this plot. Written at the upper elementary reading level, for grades four to six, or ages nine to twelve.
