The leaves whisper it. The birds sing it. It is Ramadan, the holy season of giving! But Adam and Alyha can’t help ask what is the real meaning of Ramadan? Fortunately, wise Grandma Essi knows just what to do. With ruby pomegranates picked from Grandma Essi’s magnificent tree, the two grandchildren set off to visit their friends and neighbors, share their blessings, and discover, as Grandma Essi no doubt intended all along, to feel the spirit of the holiest month of the year. THE BLESSED POMEGRANATES is a timeless story to teach kids gratitude, generosity, and the real meaning behind Ramadan. (From GoodReads.)
