The book "Lost and Found Cat" illustrates the life of a mother, four daughters, one son, and their cat Kunkush. When Iraq became threatening and their fathers dead this family decided to live their home and take with them food, water, and their loved cat, Kunkush. After a long journey of crossing mountains, forest, they have finally arrived to cross the Aegean Sea to Greece, but how would they make it to the Greek Island of Lebos? The boat had only space for twenty-five people; however, they were more than sixty men, women, children, and Kunkush trying to cross six miles across the water.

After a couple of months, Amy decided to find "Dias" his new home. Facebook, pamphlets, videos, throughout the world showing kunkush picture to find his family. Until one day Kunkush family saw a video and asked them to bring Kunkush home. Kunkush traveled thousands of miles to Norway to find his family.

I love this book! This book but mainly the story has many values and morals our children and society need today. Stories like Kunkush, and his family demonstrate the world that when humanity is united we can do so much more than when we are separated. I love that the story and pictures of the book. The details could make the reader find a connection. Definitely a book to have at home.
