Longlisted for the Cogan Heroes Picture Book Award 2023 Winner of
the Caldecott Honor Winner of the Middle East Book Award 'A
beautifully told and illustrated story that offers a unique
perspective on both war and humanity.' Kirkus, starred review Out
of the ravages of war came hope. How an act of kindness inspired
millions worldwide. When war came to Syria, many fled the
once-beautiful city of Aleppo and were forced to become refugees in
far-flung places. But Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel decided to stay and
work as an ambulance driver, helping the civilians that couldn't
leave. He quickly realised that it wasn't just people who needed
care, but also the hundreds of cats abandoned on the streets. Using
the little money he earned, he began feeding and looking after
them. But there were too many for Alaa to care for on his own, so
he asked the world for help to keep his new friends safe. Soon, his
call was answered. Alaa's brave and heart-warming story is brought
to triumphant life on these pages, which include a note from Alaa
himself. Alaa's cat sanctuary has expanded to work with local
children traumatised by a lifetime of war. To find out more about

James R. White, author of 'What Every Christian Needs to Know About
the Qur'an' said the following: "Karim Shamsi-Basha has provided us
with a moving, personal story of the sometimes winding, often messy
road of grace tread by those blessed souls who find the glory of
God in the face of Jesus the Messiah. His story of coming to know
that the true Jesus from the background of Islam, together with the
narrative of the life of Paul, provides a unique and edifying
narrative that will bless many readers."
