Alaa热爱阿勒颇，战争来临的时候，他的邻居们都逃到了安全的地方，留下了许多宠物。Alaa决定留下来--他可以做点什么，他开着救护车，把伤病员送到安全的地方。有一天，他在回家的路上听到饥饿的猫咪向他呼唤。它们和他一样，既孤独又害怕。他给它们喂食，抚摸它们，让它们知道自己被爱。第二天，更多的猫咪来了，接着又来了更多的猫咪。猫咪太多了，阿拉一个人照顾不了这么多。虽然Alaa有一颗博大的心，但如果他想保护所有新朋友的安全，他需要别人的帮助。

The Caldecott Honor-

winning true story of Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel, who in the midst of the Syrian Civil War courageously offered safe haven to Aleppo's abandoned cats.


Aleppo's city center no longer echoes with the rich, exciting sounds of copper-pot pounding and traditional sword sharpening. His neighborhood is empty--except for the many cats left behind.

Alaa loves Aleppo, but when war comes his neighbors flee to safety, leaving their many pets behind. Alaa decides to stay--he can make a difference by driving an ambulance, carrying the sick and wounded to safety. One day he hears hungry cats calling out to him on his way home. They are lonely and scared, just like him. He feeds and pets them to let them know they are loved. The next day more cats come, and then even more! There are too many for Alaa to take care of on his own. Alaa has a big heart, but he will need help from others if he wants to keep all of his new friends safe.
