Love the cover design elements reflecting the characters and events of the book: the cat Bon Bon, the main character Saffiyah and her friend, the doors to the Grand Mosque, the landmarks of Paris, the warplanes in the sky and even the oranges by the author's name. A good story for Muslims and non-Muslims alike, and I learnt a lot about this historical moment of Muslims helping Jews. Much needed in these times.
