The Month of Ramadan

Explore Ramadan through the eyes of a child in this graceful and authentic story that illuminates the sense of belonging that this month of fasting, prayer, and reflection brings. This month is different from the others. It starts with the sighting of a new crescent moon. 'Slow down, be kind to yourself and think good thoughts.' This month, we learn to do big things by changing one little thing at a time… It's the first time for Deenie, the youngest member of a Muslim family, to fast during Ramadan. She comes across some challenges, but by the end of the month, she learns that there is a lot more to Ramadan than giving up food and water. A warm and joyful story offering children the chance to see themselves or their friends in the celebration of the spiritual practice of Ramadan.
