Celebrating Ramadan

BY DIANE HOYT-GOLDSMITH, ILLUSTRATED BY LAWRENCE MIGDALE

Brief Description:
"This picture book for older readers follows devout Muslim Ibraheem, a fourth-grader living in New Jersey, through the holy month of Ramadan. A brief but surprisingly comprehensive introduction ot Islamic faith and practice begins the book... The Joy of Ramadan, which is often depicted as a lolemn holiday, is captured well here as Ibraheem prays and plays with friends; and it's easy to celebrate with the boy as he successfully completes the fast. This is a sensitive introduction to Ramadan; the quality of the photographs and the eloquent text make the book one of the best introductions in recent memory."-Booklist. Grades 2-5, younger for reading aloud.
