Maryam and Sami have three cats. There’s Pacha, the black angora; Minouche, the grey tabby; and Amir, the Siamese. They love to sprawl on Maryam’s stomach. But one day, this human cushion starts to grow and grow, and something starts moving around inside it. What can it be?
This book will be very helpful in talking about the arrival of a new sibling in the family. And the three cats, with their distinctive personalities, act in ways with which many children will identify. Maya Fidawi’s illustrations are touching and amusing. This is a lovely picture book, with words by Amina Hachimi Alaoui, director of the Moroccan publishing house, Yanbow al-Kitab.
