Join award winning Syrian author and illustrator Nadine Kaadan as she reads her wonderfully funny book ‘The Jasmine Sneeze’, a magical tale about Haroun the cat, his love of sunny Damascus courtyards and his battle with the jasmine flowers he can’t stop sneezing at. After the story, get creative with a drawing activity
inspired by her Kind Activity Book, illustrated by Nadine, Axel Scheffler and Renia Metallinou, exploring how art can help us spread kindness, celebrate our differences and brighten the world.
