This children's book written and illustrated by Louisville artist and Hite alumni Joseph McGee for his young daughter.                  

"In the story of The Amazing Mr. Duke, artist Joseph McGee pays homage to a now deceased large black & white cat named Mr. Duke, who for years visited McGee's studio each evening as he worked. In McGee's make believe world Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera operate a small circus in Mexico. Adopting Mr. Duke as a kitten, they soon realize his amazing acrobatic skills and invite the silly-natured cat to join their circus." --From the book cover
