Kitty turned half a dozen years of covering Capitol Hill into a wry tale with members of Congress painted as real people with real families as well as petty party differences, a sense of formality from another century, and even dogs who wander the hallways as if they were the ones elected last November. Legend has it: anyone who sees the Demon Cat of Capitol Hill will be cursed with bad luck. 10-year-old Fina Mendoza just saw it. And the last thing her family needs right now is more bad luck. Fina just moved to Washington, D.C. to live fulltime with Papa, a congressman from California. She encounters a mysterious cat and disaster follows. The only way for Fina to save her family from future “cat”astrophe is to solve the mystery of the Demon Cat of Capitol Hill. Fina was inspired by a young woman Kitty mentored for many years. But are the politicos based on real people? “No comment,” Kitty says. “I was always more interested in the human side of politics, something that didn’t always fit into a news story. Telling the story of Fina allowed me to describe the real Capitol Hill.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2d57888f513032fe50ddd3/1556136039601-B3QEXE1FCKABNKEXSDRQ/Kitty+400+pix.jpg Press Release "Welcome to Washington, Fina Mendoza" Award-winning public radio journalist and playwright Kitty Felde hosts the award-winning Book Club for Kids podcast – named one of the top 10 kidcasts in the world by The Times of London. She fell in love with literature for young readers when she was a young reader herself , working at her local public library. Kitty looked for the Demon Cat while covering Congress for public radio. She found the paw prints, but not the cat.

Papa’s a big deal congressman, the smartest person in Washington, D.C. But Papa wasn’t down here in the Crypt. Nobody was here but me and a circle of statues, all of them Founding Fathers I’d never heard of from states I’d never visited. Like Caesar Rodney from Delaware, a guy who signed the Declaration of Independence who scowled at me from across the room. I felt those marble eyes staring as if they were saying, “You wouldn’t even be in the Crypt after visiting hours, Fina Mendoza, if you hadn’t lost your school sweatshirt. Again.” https://kittyfelde.com/losing-is-democratic daily 0.75 2025-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2d57888f513032fe50ddd3/c6dd6715-1a64-4623-af4b-643ee6fb748f/banner+for+website.gif Losing is Democratic: How to Talk to Kids About January 6th - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2d57888f513032fe50ddd3/1fc0c8a4-8086-47da-90de-95172bc64209/Red+and+Green+Cute+Kids+Merry+Christmas+Postcard+Portrait+%281%29.png Losing is Democratic: How to Talk to Kids About January 6th - 2025 Next Generation Indie Book Award Finalist! Our democracy is still very much in danger, and if elections are only considered valid if your side wins, our future is indeed dim. Kitty Felde helps us convey to children that our democracy depends on all sides of an election putting their allegiance to country above party, and her book helps open the door to a discussion about the perilous events on January 6th, how to find common ground, rebuild trust, and reach across the aisle, er, playground. — U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D) I’ll never forget living through that historic day, watching as our democracy was attacked from within. It’s so important to teach our children the truth about January 6th so that history doesn’t repeat itself.
