Baby-Toddler–Two siblings end Ramadan with the sighting of the Eid moon and anticipate the coming celebrations. Illustrations and pages unfold to show the festivities and joy surrounding this special Muslim holiday. The siblings recite morning prayers, put on brand-new clothes, buy sweets to deliver to the shelter, apply henna, and more. The day ends at the grand masjid where they “joined all their family and friends to pray the Eid prayer before they shared hugs and exchanged gifts and gathered in the courtyard for an Eid celebration they would never forget!” The community brims with love and connection.
VERDICT Highly recommended for all collections.
