A Golden Eid: Festivals of the World

"An exceptional, heartfelt Eid story that gently impresses upon readers that community is about both giving and receiving." --School Library Journal (starred review)

Get ready to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, commemorating the end of Ramadan, with Hafsa and her family.

Hafsa and her family have spotted a crescent moon in the sky and ended their long Ramadan fast. Now they are getting ready to spend Eid with their loved ones: decorating the house, donning fancy clothes, and preparing lots of delicious food, including halwa, Hafsa's favorite sweet treat. But when her father begins giving the food away to all the neighbors, Hafsa is worried that there won't be anything left for her! This warmly illustrated, heartfelt story, which centers the joys of community and sharing, includes a halwa recipe and a banner-decorating activity.
