Description

Haroun, the cat, likes nothing better than to spend his days sleeping in the sunlit courtyards of Damascus. Yet one thing always ruins his sleep: jasmine! The sweet-scented flowers send him into fits of sneezes! One day, Haroun hatches a plan to fix the problem, but little does he know that the Jasmine Spirit has a trick or two up her sleeve . . .

A sweet and entertaining story by award-winning Syrian author-illustrator, Nadine Kaadan, that sheds a welcome light onto Syria's long and proud cultural heritage in a period of history marred by war.

I loved this book. The illustrations are beautiful. I especially loved the colors. They were soft and seemed exotic in a way that fit with the story. I felt sorry for the poor cat who still had to sneeze, but I still liked the story. I was especially pleased with the little extra in the back, explaining the history of the story.
