First Order of Business for ‘Cat Girl’: Write a Book by Age 8

Most don’t parlay their fascination into published book, let alone a series of books.

Layah, of West Bloomfield, gets that distinction with “Cat Girl,” her whimsical story about the adventures of a young girl who becomes a superhero and saves animals.

Layah is the daughter of Jerome and Chelsea Vasser.

“It touches your heart,” her dad told WXYZ-TV. “One of the best gifts to give to our children is to inspire them to think.”

Layah’s book can be purchased here.
