The Cat Man of Aleppo | Irene Latham, Karim Shamsi-Basha

Someone just bought this book and was telling me that they weren't sure how her grandkids parents would react to the book, I was left thinking, what kind of book would make someone think that? It's a book about war and loss and death but also love and hope and lots of cats #syria #aleppo #nonfiction

Wow! This #nonfiction book is deceptively simple. Told from the perspective of a 7 year old girl, this book tells of her experiences in #Aleppo as#war reigns down upon her world.

I spent a large part of today grieving and filled horror at the atrocities we humans commit against each other. I will never forget #Aleppo, nor those abandoned there. However, I remembered the Wizard's Oath from one of my favorite childhood series, and it gave me some peace, an oath I can stand by 🌱☮️🌻🌍

thec0zy @Notafraidofwords it really doesn't. I feel like 2016 has been a lesson in persevering against feelings of powerlessness. 8y

Faibka @Tsubame thank you @Tsubame I confess I've been avoiding the news as everything seems to be getting worse and seeing what happened, I just don't understand how or why these things happen 8y
thec0zy @Tsubame @Faibka 💜💜💜 8y
Suet624 What is to be done against such savagery? That town. Those people. It's just unimaginable what they've been through. 8y
thec0zy @Suet624 it's awful, and I wish I had answers or a plan of action 😢 8y
