Description

A beautifully told and illustrated story about hope in the face of war. In 2011, Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel decided to stay in Aleppo and work as an ambulance driver, helping civilians who couldn't leave. He soon discovered that many cats were abandoned on the streets, and he began feeding and caring for them using his limited earnings. As word of his kindness spread, Alaa's call for help was answered, and his cat sanctuary grew into a vital lifeline for both humans and animals affected by war. Today, his work continues to bring hope to those who need it most. This book tells the story of Alaa's bravery and heart-warming efforts, brought to life through stunning illustrations. A note from Alaa himself adds a personal touch to this inspiring tale, highlighting the importance of kindness and compassion in the face of adversity.
