Shirin's Ramadan Miracle

BY REZA JALALI, ILLUSTRATED BY ANNE SIBLEY O'BRIEN
This moving picture book for older readers about a young Muslim girl and her family at Ramadan weaves together the traditional observance and its meaning with a lively drama of sibling rivalry. In her backyard in Maine, Shirin, 9, and her father watch for the new moon that starts the holy month. Shirin begs to be allowed to fast, like her older brother, Ali, 12, and is furious when her family tells her she is too young. But she also learns that Ramadan is about doing good deeds to help others. Along with the information about the holiday, there is a real story here: when Shirin helps Ali, it changes their relationship and reveals the meaning of the holiday.
