Zahra’s family is getting ready to observe Ramadan by collecting things to donate to a shelter. Over the next couple of weeks, Zahra meets and befriends a little girl at the shelter, Haleema, who is experiencing displacement. Together they learn the real meaning behind Ramadan.
This beautifully illustrated story does a great job of describing Ramadan for young audiences and touches on the issue of displacement due to natural disasters or war in an accessible way. It is gorgeous and inclusive and celebrates a wonderful tradition in Islamic cultures.
