Rashad's Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr is an informative picture book for children, it explains what Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr mean to muslim children. The American author Lisa Bullard explains exactly which rituals belong to Ramadan and Eid.
It is a pity that the book has never been translated into Dutch. In the Netherlands, children from all different cultures sit together in the class room and what is more fun for them than to learn more about each other by reading books?
The fun, colorful illustrations are made by Holli Conger, who also lives in the United States. All in all, a fun and educational book with a craft in the back of the book and a page with the explanation of unknown words (a glossary).
2 beautiful stars for Rashad's Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, from the out-loud readers and the little listeners!
