Priscida is no stranger to hardship, growing up a stray. One day she is captured and taken to an animal shelter. Luckily, she is adopted by a loving family!
Through the love of the family, Priscida comes to realize that her gift is giving love. Purring when getting petted, being a friend, curling up on a lonely lap, and all the little things that she can do to show that she loves someone. This is how she can be great.
Sweet family tale about realizing you are enough! Keep loving and learning, Priscida!!

Priscida is a modest yet astute alley cat who discovers the meaning of grandeur. Some of the incidents she depicts are based on true occurrences. You get to choose which ones are genuine! Enjoy Priscida Discovers and recognizes brilliance in yourself and others. “Great acts are built up of tiny deeds,” says Lao Tzu, and this is the basis for her narrative. While seeing through the eyes of this amusing cat, it is hoped that the reader would learn and apply this. Priscida realizes she is amazing and that she is surrounded by amazing people. Pretend you’re Priscida if you read it aloud! Imitate her facial expressions and body language. Make the same noises she would. Make a list of your own brilliance and display it somewhere you’ll see it every day. Saying “I am fantastic” every day is a good habit to get into. “Go forth and be wonderful today.” Most importantly, never give up and look for grandeur in the smallest of gestures.
I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read the rest of her books
This is a wonderful children’s book. The overall story is such a great lesson. Then you add a cute “kitty” (my little one kept calling her.) It just makes for a great bedtime story. The illustrations were adorable and just added so well to story. Wonderful story time read!
Priscida Finds Greatness by Constance Mays – Review by Barbara Stegall
I just loved reading this book to my grandson. It has so many little life lessons in it. The story was short and to the point which is just perfect for small kids. The cat Priscilla is the perfect character for these little lessons. My grandson was very happy that he could read most of the book by himself!

A super cute and creative little book! I recommend this book to anyone who has children, even if you have to do the reading for them. I plan to order a paper copy so i can add it to my kids’ bookshelf.
This story is a beautiful reminder that we can all be great, no matter who or where you are!

I was looking for a great book for kids since I’ve been reading to my nices a lot lately and because I got tired of those books that doesnt teach much to kids. No doubt Priscida finds Greatness is a GREAT books and it teaches them several important things in a very nice, mature but still fun way. Thank you to the Author for creating this master piece for the kids books world. We adults totally appreciate it.

“Priscida Finds Greatness: In Herself and in Others” is a tale of a street cat that teaches us some great lessons with a cute story! The book’s main lesson is one of self esteem, as everyone has greatness within them no matter if they have any special talents or not. The book also teaches about giving greatness to others by doing things for them, such as giving kindness and love to others Priscida was born an alley cat but found a home where she is loved so it also teaches that you can find a home and hope if you don’t have one. A wonderful tale with some wonderful lessons!

I got to read this to my kids. They loved it. This was an excellent story. I loved that it was an easy way to teach/tell my kids about small acts of kindness. I believe that small acts of kindness go a long way in people’s lives. I felt like this was a good way to reinforce that with my kids. They loved the illustrations too! It really helped that my kids love cats! Super sweet story, good for everyone to read.
This was a cute book to teach that greatness comes from your actions, not from how much money you have or how popular you are. It could have used more pictures for the intended age group. But it was a cute book and would be a hit with children that love cats.
Y’all- this was a sweet quick read. Priscida is so cute and lovable and fun to read about. This isn’t my ordinary type of book to read- but I’m glad i did! The pictures at the end of the chapters were so cute! I think the graphics were some of my favorite part. A really sweet book that y’all should give a chance (it makes you think!)- and maybe share with a little loved one. 💖
This was such a cute and friendly book. The message of greatness is one all our children should hear daily. The author was on the perfect path in the book. I will keep this one close for when my grandson is a little older. If you have not read this book to your child, I recommend it fully. Life can change when you least expect it too. This is a warm and fuzzy book. Enjoy!!!

This children’s book is a great little read. By following Pricinda the cat on her adventures, children can learn to find greatness in their everyday lives. Pricinda is an alley cat who gets captured by animal control but this story doesn’t end there! Pricinda is then adopted and her adventures just begin.
This book would be a great read for any child or classroom setting. In a world where children are constantly faced with comparing themselves to others, this book helps them to see that greatness can take on many forms.
What a cute and adorable children’s book! I absolutely loved the way this was written! Talking to children about the important things in life and teaching them that “greatness is contagious”. The book also talks about perseverance which is a big word for kids but is broken down and explained in a way that kids can understand and that they can relate to! The author has done a great job of having the main character as a cute cat named Priscida which will draw readers young and old into the story and help children to understand because they can relate to the character. The illustrations are adorable too! I would highly recommend this book for any children learning about the importance of doing great things in their lives and parents and teachers who want to explain it in a fun way!

What a cute story! I read this with my kids more than once, we all enjoyed it! I think it was a great reminder that we can find happiness and greatness in everything. Like Priscidas big things like being rescued by a loving family, to smaller things like the treats given to her by Grannie. Being great is about the love and kindness we show, and feeling great is being loved in return. I think we’ll read this one again!
This was such a good children’s book. Teaching that there is greatness in everyone is a good lesson for everyone to learn. My kids loved it. The main character being a cat made it even more adorable. My kids laughed and loved the pictures. The message was simple enough that my 5 year old understood what was going on and my 9 year old understood that little things can build up to bigger and better things! This author did a wonderful job! I’m glad to have it on my shelf for my kids to read over and over again!
Priscida is a cute cat that goes from being an alley cat to having owners that are like her parents, she never loses her hope and learns new things (like reading) and this is a wonderful teaching message to children, don’t forget, “greatness is contagious!” ^___^
My oldest daughter is having a tough time in catching up on school (she has autism), and she thought it was brilliant that a cat could learn to read, the only down to the book, that we could find, was, that it doesn’t have too many pictures.
It’s a good bedtime story, not too long, and it ends in a really positive note, but it is better for a plus 7 years old kids in my experience, my youngest son that is 4 got distracted, I recommend this story!

This is a sweet story about a stray kitty that finds herself adopted into a loving and supportive family. Through a series of adventures, she comes to understand that being great is more about loving people and being loved back than by material gains. Through the act of love and compassion towards others, we all can be great individuals. I found this to be an understandable way to introduce compassion towards others in children with colorful childlike illustrations.

This is a beautiful children’s book for I would say 1 to 5th grade age. Priscidia is a great cat and in this story it teaches you how to find greatness a how to feel it. You can be great in any and everything you do. You are loved and valued but those that love you! I enjoyed it and shared it with my Godkids!! A great read and definitely a sharer!!
Priscida Finds Greatness: In Herself and In Others is a charming children’s story by Constance Mays. This wonderful story teaches about finding greatness in yourself and also in small things around you . Priscida is an alley cat , has a rough patch in her life, she is caught, then rescued by an animal shelter, lost and then found again. But through out this rough journey Priscida finds that love and kindness lead to great things and patience and perseverance are a key to the greater good. It is a wonderful book for children and I loved the illustrations. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
“Priscida Finds Greatness: In Herself and in Others” by Constance Mays is a very sweet and interactive children’s book. I read this out loud to my 5 and 8 year old boys, and they both enjoyed pretending to be Priscida! They did impressions of her posture and actions. We enjoyed learning new vocabulary and now have an affirmation posted on our school board to recite daily: “I am great. Go be great today!”

This is a very cute story. I read it to my eleven year old son and he enjoyed it very much. He loves the message of the story that you need to find greatness in yourself and others. He said that he liked the breakdown of each little chapter as well.
Priscida is an alley cat that got adopted into an amazing family. She knew she came from nothing so she loves her humans so much. They took good care of her. Priscida finds the good and all things which makes her special.
The message that’s written in Priscida Finds Greatness is a wonderful message to push along to children, let alone the adults are sharing it with them. However the way it’s written here I feel it could be confusing. I tried to view it through the eyes of a child, but had to read it twice to best understand it.The illustrations are cute. Any child would be all for it. Only thing I’ll say as the reader is that a parent may want to read through this book before sharing it with a child. I say that because you want to make sure that you’re sharing the message, which is Greatness, and not confusing them. Greatness can be shared and found everywhere and that’s the point here. A wonderful message for young and old.
I loved this book. It was very heartfelt. While reading this, I found myself enjoying this book. The message was so sweet and wonderful. This story teaches a valuable lesson to children. I recommend it to children and parents.

GREATNESS isn’t that a beautiful word? That is what you will find in this children’s story. A way to teach children and those around us, where to find their GREATNESS. To look for the small acts of kindness. Priscida is a plain Ole alley cat, scrounging around for food, going from dumpster to dumpster. Until the day the pound caught her. You would think a name like Priscida is loyalty, but in fact it is the name given to her by the workers at the shelter. A Classy Chassie fits Priscida. The author of this book has pets and children in mind. I love that she shares with her readers ways to read this book to their children. She encourages voice changes as well as facial expressions, to help children to get a better understanding of those feelings. Priscida is trying to teach us, We Are Greatness. This was a true feels book. I enjoyed reading it too.
