Molière Act II Larkin (parents Dick and Celia Larkin) surrounded by his books and music. Molière was always ready to provide moral support (and sometimes entertainment) to Celia and Laura’s creative efforts on the Children’s Rhymes Project; they even borrowed some of his books sometimes! Although he left us in 2019, Molière will always be in our hearts,
and remind us how great it is being cat!
