Baggs Sets Off!

What happens when Baggs, a curious black cat, jumps from his apartment balcony to chase a bright-colored ball that has caught his eye? Let's find out!

Baggs is a curious black cat who yearns to venture outside his apartment. He loves all kinds of toys, especially balls. When a ball catches his eye outside, he just can't resist and decides to go after it. What happens next? Join him on his adventure! Bags' adventure outside is filled with fun, friendship, and the hope that he will return home to his sister, Willow.

Janet is a Filipino American who has spent more than half her life as part of the US Navy. She grew up as a Navy "Brat," was commissioned as a Naval Officer, and is a military spouse to a submariner. Writing a children's book had always been on her "bucket list" since college. It was in San Diego, California that Janet became friends with another military spouse, Katia. Katia's two cats, Bags and Willow, became the inspiration for this book. Janet's oldest child, Tim, acted as illustrator for "The Adventure of Baggs." While Katia is no longer able to enjoy the book, the book is dedicated in her memory.
