THE CAT MAN OF ALEPPO Cover Reveal!


Today Alaa, aka The Cat Man of Aleppo, revealed the cover for the picture book illustrated by Yuko Shimizu and written by me and Karim Shamsi-Basha, soon-to-be published by Penguin Random House.

We are so excited for more people to learn about Alaa's amazing work! So many stories are written about refugees leaving war-torn lands... but what about ones who stay? What about the animals left behind? This true story will touch your heart and renew your faith in humanity. Plus, did I mention CATS? :)

The book is now available for pre-order and will be released in the U.S. (and some other countries!) April 14, 2020. You can donate to the cat sanctuary here.
