by Judith Wilson Shadzi
Based on a true story, Zeeba is a Nebraska farm cat that is adopted by a Persian family from Iran. She and her sister Peeshi not only experience all the trials of a cat’s life but are submerged into a foreign culture. They learn the Farsi language, and lounge on colorful Persian carpets.
Step into the enchanting world of a fortunate cat whose limitless curiosity leads to unexpected adventures, all the while discovering all the customs of her cherished adopted family. Zeeba experiences love and loss, but she is smart and most of all, a survivor. This story is certain to be a favorite for all and one to read again and again.
In today’s world, with a mixture of people from diverse backgrounds in our midst, it is more important than ever to learn the beauty of each language and culture. It is only right that Zeeba, the cat that was loving, curious, and obedient, would strive successfully as the author herself did, to adapt and thrive in the Persian culture.
