A retelling of the Gift of the Magi, set against the backdrop of the Umayyad Masjid of Damascus, in this picture book from a National Book Award Winner.

With Baba gone, Yasmine doesn't have enough money to buy Mama's Eid gift and can't think of anything she wants for herself when Mama asks. While Mama's haggling with the baker, she gets an idea. And after exchanging gifts with her mom in the Masjid, Yasmine realizes that true Eid joy comes from being together.

Set in the famous Souq al-Hamidiyeh and the Umayyad Masjid of Damascus, this heartfelt story offers a Muslim background to one of the best-loved stories of all time.
