Reader’s Review

A gorgeous collection of 15 stories that highlight the joy and meaning of Eid. Some are funny and light, others will make you cry. A variety of families from different backgrounds are introduced, and each sees Eid in a different light. Includes a poem and a comic strip.

To look out for

  • Islamic Values: Muslim families of all ethnicities, backgrounds and traditions are described. As a result in some stories the families listen to music and dance, and in others both the children and parents are avid social media users.
