Rate this book
A heart wrenching children's story. A little girl comes across a malnourished cheetah cub caged at the back of a small shop in an Arab souq. Her mother agrees to buy the animal to save its life, and the little girl rears the cub at their house until it grows into a fine young cheetah. The cheetah and the girl are inseparable friends, but they know one day he will need to return to Africa where he can roam free. Beautiful illustrations flow throughout the narrative and bring this enchanting tale to life.

If you and your child like to enjoy a bedtime read together, this book could be a good choice. Both happy and sometimes sad, the amazing pictures on every page accentuate the story as it progresses. As you read, talking about this wonderful encounter of a young girl and her unexpected friend on their adventure may just keep you up past both your bedtimes, but the best stories always do.
