Former Governor Nathan Deal’s children book honoring his late wife of 56 years, Sandra, has been a hit with reviewers and readers alike.



The Washington Post praised “Veto, the Governor’s Cat,” writing, “Deal keeps the plot gentle, his prose simple and concrete."

" I was reminded of Little Bear stories written by Else Holmelund Minarik."

"His moral truths come on little cat feet."



On stage, Governor Deal has been delighting statewide audiences using an assortment of voices representing the characters in the book.



These voices have surprised longtime friends and associates, as we discovered recently inside the Atlanta History Center.
