Chico (cat)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chico is a cat who is the narrator of an authorized biography for children of Pope Benedict XVI.
The illustrated children's book is entitled Joseph e Chico: Un gatto racconta la vita di Papa Benedetto XVI. The Italian original has been translated into English as "Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told By a Cat".
The character of Chico is based on a real cat, a tabby, who lived in the town of Pentling, Germany where Joseph Ratzinger had lived for 20 years before moving to Rome as a Cardinal.
The book was written by Jeanne Perego and illustrated by Donata Dal Molin Casagrande. [1]
