 -Award winner-Caldecott-Honor

Ambulance driver, Alaa, remains in war-torn Syria to continue to his job.  As time passes, he notices the many cats from families who had fled.  He begins to feed them.  Word about his kindness spreads throughout the world, resulting in people donating finances and supplies.  Alaa continues to rescue and to help cats and other animals.  In addition, he has recently built an orphange for children whose parents have died because of the ongoing war.
