Dounia and the Princess of Aleppo

Six-year-old Dounia flees war-torn Aleppo with her grandparents, clutching a pouch of magical black cumin seeds from her grandmother. These seeds hold the ancient wisdom of Syria. As the refugee journey unfolds across treacherous seas and unwelcoming borders, the seeds spring to life in moments of despair. They whisper tales of Queen Zenobia and legendary warriors, weaving the rich tapestry of their homeland's history into Dounia's present struggle. Her simple rubber duck becomes a silent, steadfast companion, a tiny anchor to the home she was forced to leave behind.
