Making the Middle East accessible to children and adults the world over, new author Leslie J.

Making the Middle East accessible to children and adults the world over, new author Leslie J. Holland offers a fun, friendly, and surprisingly universal message about the international need for tolerance and acceptance. Expat Cats is a wildly original, fully illustrated, and fairly furry debut that is sure to make Western readers look at the Muslim culture-and all expatriates-a little differently. With great wit and a tender heart, the world just became a little smaller when two cats, expat cats, that is, make a cross continent, over-the-ocean move with their beloved owner. From the familiar and enchanting United Arab Emirates to the good ole' United States of America, Sheikh and Puff Kitty tackle their new home with its new faces and new customs. Just like when kitty condos go high-rise, some of the changes are good, and some of the changes are not so good, but in the end these two expat cats learn that the most important thing in life is love, love, love.

this little book is brilliant. it's written by a woman who is an English as Second Language instructor and taught in United Arab Emirates and Taiwan and Slovakia. this is a 10 minute read, children's book and i believe a great ESL beginning literature, written the child's heart in all of us the heart and feelings of being transported to another culture and seeing with eyes wide open the differences, both good and bad, and how love and tolerance and acceptance is key. a sweet reminder for those of us grown, a great fun delightful book to read to and be read to us by our little ones. i'm getting copies for a few school librarians i know.
i look at the cats in my neighborhood differently now, funny, just where could they be from? let alone their owners? we, our children, and our cats can make it a better and more more gracious world for everyone.
primary educators and those with daycares, please consider adding it to your collection.
i hope to see more books coming from Lessie J. Holland, talented thinkers like this who help us provide positive perspectives on coexistence for our children, and even many among ourselves.
stay close,
