Meet the House Kittens by Patrick Green

This is the first in a new series of graphic novels called Kitten Construction Company. Marmalade is an amazing architect, but she is also an adorable kitten.  Because she is so little and cute nobody will take her seriously. When the city planner rejects her plans for the new Mayor's Mansion, Marmalade takes things into her own paws. She recruits other kittens with serious construction skills, and together they work to overcome kitten prejudice.

This a cute new graphic novel great for younger readers.  Children will relate with the challenge of being considered too little or too cute to do anything important. Green includes some funny kitty tropes. For example at one point someone starts shining a laser pointer at the construction sight and Marmalade struggles to keep her crew from chasing it.  Green's color illustrations are as adorable as, well, a kitten!  Even though the main character is a girl, others on the crew are male, and since it is about construction I think it would appeal to both boys and girls.  (72 p. 2018)
