In "Clarence the Copy Cat," Clarence is a young cat who admires the talents of his friends and finds himself trying to imitate them. Whether it’s the swift moves of the dancing dog or the beautiful singing of the parrot, Clarence thinks that copying their skills will make him just as special. However, he soon learns that being himself is what truly makes him unique and lovable. Through charming illustrations and a heartwarming storyline, the book conveys an important lesson about individuality and self-acceptance, showing young readers that they should embrace who they are rather than trying to be someone else.

This book has been nominated for the following awards:
Nevada Young Readers' Award - Picture Book
This book was recognised in the Picture Book category by the Nevada Young Readers' Award.
Golden Sower Award - Grades K-2
This book was recognised in the Grades K-3 category by the Golden Sower Award.
Golden Sower Award - Primary
This book was recognised in the Primary category of the Golden Sower Award . Just as The Sower sows seeds, symbolizing the agriculture, life and prosperity of the state, the The Golden Sower Award seeks to sow seeds of literacy in children by encouraging them to read. The award became affiliated with the Nebraska Library Association as a committee under the School, Children and Young Peoples Section of the NLA in 1985. In 2016, the committee revised the categories of books in order to better describe the generally intended reading levels of the program. The three categories are now: Picture Books: (formerly Primary) generally appropriate for K-2 children; Chapter Books: (formerly Intermediate) intended to be appropriate for grades 3-5; Novel: (formerly young adult) appropriate for grades 6-8. In 2023, the committee revised and renamed the categories, keeping similar grade level designations, but adding an additional category targeted at high school readers. Each year, thousands of Nebraskas youth participate in the Golden Sower Award by reading titles, talking about the books with others, holding book battles, voting for their favorites, and throwing celebrations for the winners.
