Loulou and Loupi

LOULOU AND LOUPI

Loulou & Loupi, written by Esther Buerki, published by SWISS MADE STORY

This photo book tells the story about the cat Loulou and her four kittens, including Loupi, a white male with a black tail, with 50 touching pictures.

There are stories that bloom quietly in the corners of our lives—soft, unexpected, and full of wonder. Loulou and Loupi is one of those treasures.
This photo book captures the tender journey of Loulou, a young calico cat who came into our Swiss home as a tiny three-month-old kitten… and who, without knowing it, opened the door to many beautiful adventures.

Because the younger son Léonard loved her with all his heart, because he cared for her so lovingly that even homework sometimes had to wait… Loulou became part of our family’s story. And before she turned one year old, she brought four black-and-white boys into the world—one of them Loupi, the unforgettable white kitten with his black tail and two little spots on his forehead.

BORN FROM THE REAL-LIFE BOND

With 50 full-format photographs, this book leads you gently into the world of this small cat family. You’ll witness their first shy moments, their playful chaos, their early cuddles… each page filled with emotion, innocence, and the quiet beauty of new life.

Told with humor, warmth, and a loving eye, this book is a perfect companion to my children’s stories Leonard and Loulou and Leonard and Lea—born from the real-life bond between a boy who felt not good enough at school and the cat who helped him find his strength again.

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

The texts are kept very simple, so every reader—big or small—can follow along easily. Yet the true language of the book is universal: love, tenderness, and the gentle miracle of belonging.

If you wish to bring a little softness into your home—or to gift someone a story that touches the heart—Loulou and Loupi is waiting for you.
