Tiger wishes with all her heart to have a kitten, and she is willing to do so despite her father's allergy, her mother's refusal, and school problems. When Ahmad, a boy who has just arrived from Syria, who was missing a leg, appears, many things will change. Do these very different children have anything in common? Boom, the Syrian Boy, is a story about migrations, the absurdity of war, the love of cats and the brotherhood between the children of the world.

Spanish Description: Tigre desea con todo su corazón tener un gatito, y está dispuesta a hacerlo a pesar de la alergia de su padre, la negativa de su madre y los problemas de la escuela.

Boom, el niño sirio, es una historia sobre migraciones, el absurdo de la guerra, el amor por los gatos y la hermandad entre los niños del mundo.
