This book is about the story of 3 friends who go on a journey to find their pet cat, Genie.

Lina wakes to find her neighborhood covered in snow. Last night’s blizzard left everything quiet and white. As she walks to her grandmothers to make a special meal of warak enab, Lina encounters new sounds in the snow-covered neighborhood. Lina knows her grandmother cannot see very well and asks about the snowstorm. She realizes that her Sitti has heard the snow rather than seeing it. Lina discovers 10 diverse ways to hear snow.
