This heartwarming true story of one lost cat's journey to be reunited
with his refugee family gently introduces children to a difficult topic
and shows how ordinary people can help with compassion and hope.
When an Iraqi family is forced to flee their home, they can't bear to
leave their beloved cat, Kunkush, behind. So they carry him with them
from Iraq to Greece, keeping their secret passenger hidden away.
But during the crowded boat crossing to Greece, his carrier breaks and
the frightened cat runs from the chaos, disappearing. After an
unsuccessful search, his family has to continue their journey, leaving
brokenhearted.
A few days later, aid workers in Greece find the lost cat. Knowing how
much his family has sacrificed already, they are desperate to reunite
them. A worldwide community comes together to spread the word on the
Internet and in the news media, and after several months the impossible
happens--Kunkush's family is found, and they finally get their happy
ending in their new home.
This remarkable true story is told by the real people involved, with the
full cooperation of Kunkush's family.
