Review:

This story has an adorable cat as the main character. The cat goes from one house to another and finds the families very busy. The reader is left to wonder why everyone is preoccupied until the very end. The Muslim families are diverse from different backgrounds and skin tones.  This is a refreshing perspective compared to all the different books centering the Moon peeking into muslim families windows. Islam is not the centre of the story, and Eid is left to be a surprise until the end so this book can be read among Muslims and non. There is a QR code for the audio reading which we listened to while flipping the pages. Overall this is an adorable read.
