I come from the City of Jasmine,
where delicate blossoms spill from homes, balconies.
Sweet scents dance in the wind, filling air,
calming hearts.
Inspired by her own childhood in Damascus, Syria, Nadine Presley’s lyrical picture book offers a sincere view of the city and is brought to life with breathtaking illustrations by Heather Brockman Lee, which brim with wonder and love.
Nadine Presley is a Syrian Canadian author who grew up in Damascus. She’s held the beauty of her hometown in her heart ever since she left over a decade ago, and now she gets to share it with the world. Nadine currently lives in Canada, her home away from home, with her husband and three boys. She works as a literacy educator and a speaker for children, youth, and adults, with a passion for promoting pride in Arab Muslim heritage. Her other passions include cooking delicious Syrian food and being squeezed very tight by her boys. The City of Jasmine is her picture book debut, and you can visit her at nadinepresley.com.
