Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and the most special time of the year for Muslims all over the world.

Join Raya, her Mama, and Aba as they enjoy Iftar, bake Ramadan cookies, do good deeds around their community, and visit the mosque. When the month of Ramadan is over, join Raya and her wider family as they have a magical Eid celebration, playing games, opening presents, and eating delicious food. Raya invites the reader into her home and family, allowing the reader to experience this special celebration first-hand through an authentic narrative non-fiction story.

A fun 16-page ‘factivity’ section follows the story and delves into more detail about how Ramadan is observed and Eid al-Fitr is celebrated. Exciting activities are also included, such as instructions to make a pop-up Ramadan card, and a recipe to make delicious Ramadan cookies. (From GoodReads.)
