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.

Advance Praise

"The fluffy, fat cat with pop eyes is endearing, and Kaadan's droll cartoons are infused in rich colors and patterns. An amiable folktale set in Syria and suitable for one-on-one and small group sharing." --School Library Journal

My Recommendation

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.
