BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SOME
The little house is happy it has a new family, but is sad that while all of the other houses in the neighborhood are decorated with twinkling lights, it is sitting dark. It listens carefully to learn about its new family - and hears a new word - “Eid”. Which means that in the spring, house will have its lights, while the other houses are dark.
Faruqi sweetly shows how it might feel to be a family that doesn’t celebrate the same holidays as its neighbors - in a way that shows, instead of telling. An excellent fit for any community with Muslim students. The back matter explains a bit more about Eid.
