The project requires Theo to make a presentation about the importance of cats in different cultures around the world.

Theo is excited about the project, but he soon realizes that he is struggling to find information about cats in cultures other than his own. Maya and Miguel, seeing their friend's dilemma, come up with a plan to help him out.

Maya suggests that they go to the library and look for books on cats in different countries. Miguel supports the idea, and they ask their mother for permission to use the library. Mrs. Santos agrees, and off they go.
