A magical cat, an ice-cream van that makes delicious moon-creams and a quest to bring joy to those who need it most.

Mr Hooper and The Cat with the Coloured Tail travel through the countryside in their ice-cream van.

They enjoy looking for heart shapes (their favourite game) and making people happy with their delicious moon-creams.

But a dark feeling is following the cat. Something is wrong.

When the ice-cream van enters the forest, Mr Hooper and the cat realise the heart of the world is in danger. Will they be able to save it? A lyrical fable about love and healing.

  • A tender fable-like tale about love and healing that works on many levels. The story is rich in symbolism and with a subtle yet powerful environmental message but is still able to be enjoyed as a magical story.
  • Delicate, finely detailed illustrations from debut illustrator Dinalie Dabarera. This was short-listed for the 2016 Children's Book Council of Australia Crichton Award for New Illustrators.
“Gillian Mears’ distinctive voice is undimmed and her yearning fable is a sweet and gentle reminder of the two great forces that lie dormant within us kindness and hope. Her work hasn’t just described life; it’s enhanced it. And we owe her thanks.” Tim Winton
