Robert![]() ![]() Muslims all over the world celebrate Ramadan and the joyful days of Eid-ul-Fitr at the end of the month of fasting as the most special time of year. It begins with a whisper And a prayer And a wish. ![]() That being said a brief explanation can easily erase that obstacle and make it a fun book for all kids pre-school and up. With an OverDrive account, you can save your favorite libraries for at-a-glance information about availability. Robert, Shirin Adl ( 152 ) £4.39 £6.99 Ramadan, the month of fasting, Doesnt begin all at once. Muslim children will enjoy it because they are familiar and probably have experienced most everything presented, however, if that connection isn’t made, the story may fall a bit flat. While it would work for both Muslim and non-Muslim children, the vocabulary isn’t well defined and there really isn’t a story it is more of an overview. Told from a child’s perspective and voice, the free verse poetry lilts around in a playful way conveying what Ramadan is, what fasting is like, going to the mosque, what Muslim prayers entail, giving charity, being kind, and celebrating Eid. It has an AR level of 4.6 and is 28 pages. I wait for the day I can read this to a larger group of children than just my own, but until then I have no problem reading this one over and over again. The text is lyrical and simple and the pictures are charming and sweet. This book is fantastic and one of my children’s favorite. ![]()
