A young Syrian American girl remembers the beauty and joy of her home in a gorgeous picture book that is perfect for fans of Watercress.

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.
