Before reading this book, I had very minimal knowledge of the story behind Eid, and Ramadan in general. So I learned a lot from this short book. It was easily digestible and defined any words that may be unfamiliar. I liked the pictures too. This would be a good book for kids 1-3 grade who don’t know anything about the holiday.

I thought this book was a great explanation of eid al fitr. I love the pictures of real people and customs so that kids can understand how eid is a holiday that many people celebrate. I love how the book explained the customs and traditions and origins of eid too. I don't know how applicable the questions in the back would be for us, but my children are younger. I also think the cover could be more inviting to a younger child with more colors or different images.

In the series Festivals and Celebrations, this time we learn about Eid al-Fitr, one of Muslims' big holiday. Even though I didn't celebrate Eid, but people around me do, so I can say that the author did well writing about one. It is one that celebrates for days, and people start to buy new clothing weeks before it ends. The new clothes mean that they're restored and starting the new year with new leaf.
