Vince Goes to Paris:
This first story takes you on the journey of a little kitten called Vince and how he met a little girl who would become his lifelong friend. In their first adventure they make some wonderful new friends, visit some famous and beautiful sites and start to learn one of the most beautiful languages in the world.
Catnap Stories:
Catnap Stories is a series of children's books inspired by the adventures and mischievousness of cats, as well as the author's love of foreign languages and faraway travels.
These books have been written and developed with love and we hope to inspire children to want to learn about all of the wonderful friends, places and languages they will encounter through reading these short stories.
Inspiration:
Through each of the adventures, we hope children will be inspired to read more, learn more about the world and all of its wonderful treasures that it has to offer. At Catnap Stories, we love learning, travelling and meeting new friends and we hope the children who read these stories will too.
Characters:
Each of our stories will introduce children to learning about living and caring for cats, a new city or country, different cultures, famous sights and customs as well as introduce them to foreign languages.
The characters have been based on real people, and of course, real cats! The adventures are also real - we may have changed the names of some to protect their identities! Visit www.catnapstories.com

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Heidi Bryant was born and lives in Kent. She went to Fort Pitt Grammar School where she discovered her love of languages where she learnt French, German and Spanish. Heidi furthered her studies at the Open University where she graduated with an honour's degree in Modern Languages (French and Spanish). Not satisfied with just the one degree, she then decided to undertake a Master's Degree in Translation at London Metropolitan University. Heidi focused on her two favourite languages French and Spanish. She qualified to be a translator and has translated many documents on numerous subjects and has recently translated a book about Ibiza - which is due out soon. Called Living in Another World Heidi had her first idea about The Adventures of Vince the Cat when she sadly lost her beloved cat Mikki to old age in summer 2018. Heidi was devastated and so in order to keep her memories of her beautiful cats she has owned in her life and still owns now - she decided to start writing adventure stories with the cats as the main characters. As a child Heidi always loved reading and one of her favourite books that she read time and time again - was a little story book called `The Lonely House'. She also read all of the Roald Dahl books as well as the series `Gobbolino the Witch's cat'. She has travelled extensively throughout the world during her life (without the cats!), has met many amazing people and visited many amazing places. And so, finally in summer 2018 Heidi decided to combine her love of cats with her passion for languages and travel by writing the stories that she has now started to create for children. Heidi's real desire is that children will love reading these stories time and time again. But mostly she would like to be able to inspire children to want to learn about the wonderful world in which we live, understand more about the languages, cultures and customs from other countries and to be able to see the world through the beautiful illustrations that are contained within these books.
