Ramadan (Celebrate the World)

One of the best Ramadan books for kids out there, if not the best. Really well written and absolutely beautiful illustrations. It's content is probably for younger kids but even older ones could enjoy it. I will be giving to my child's kindergarten class teacher to incorporate into her lesson on Ramadan.

When I gave this to my little friend for Ramadan, her mother said they'd been wanting a way to explain Ramadan to her. It's a little different here in America, and they wanted her to know how special the holy days are to them. This book is a great explanation according to her. Simple and clear. Adorable illustrations.

I have fallen in love with Hannah Eliott’s Celebrate the World series and this addition is no exception! I love how the author introduces us the celebration with easily understandable and relatable why’s and how’s. The colorful illustrations are so cheerful and cozy. Ramadan is a time to reflect, be thankful, and help others. The values of family, gratitude, and generosity and compassion for others are values we can all relate to, no matter our religious beliefs. It’s wonderful to find that common ground.

Absolutely wonderful story and stunning illustrations about Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. The pictures are so vibrant and rich with beautiful details. I bought this as a gift to share Islamic culture and traditions with my son’s Montessori class. Great addition to any classroom library or family bookshelf.

Love, love, love this book! I read it to my son's first grade class. Its the perfect primer to Ramadan for little ones and non-Muslims alike. Succinct and beautifully written, easy to read, and lovely pictures! Highly recommended.

Gets the point and purpose of Ramadan across without being too preachy and confusing. Good for four years and up…

Absolutely love the illustrations, colors and diversity but there are a few inaccuracies in the book. Error- “When the sun disappears in the evening, we gather with family and friends to break our fast. We eat a date. Then we share a meal called iftar” Breaking of the fast itself is called “iftar”, regardless of what you break your fast with : water, date... really any food or drink item... so to state that they eat a date and then have iftar cannot be true. Eating the date would be considered the “iftar” itself. Error - “we celebrate with a big feast called Eid ul Fitr, which is also called the sweet festival!” Calling it a “sweet festival” must be a cultural/specific regional reference but as per Islamic tradition, eid Ul fitr is not a “big feast or sweet festival” but rather a “festival / holiday of breaking the fast”, celebrated after a whole month of Ramadan. Page 20: there’s a picture of a man and woman praying. The woman’s hair is showing while praying. Now this might seem insignificant to some but during the 5 daily prayers, there are dress code regulations (among other things). Females hair needs to be completely covered during obligatory prayer times. It would be nice if it were depicted accurately Wish this was checked beforehand, but perhaps a newer edition can be printed with correct information. There are a few other Islamic / Ramadan related books which have innacuracies similar to this.

Entertainingly written and colorfully illustrated, this is a great opportunity for kids to welcome other traditions. I hope these authors and publisher continue showing the world what the holidays are really about.

Beautiful quality and illustrations. My child loves this story for Ramadan. It is easy to understand for people of all religious backgrounds , even a good book for a classroom.

📚 BOOK REVIEW 📚 Name Of the book : RAMADAN Written By : Hannah Eliot Illustrated By : Rashin Published by : simonandschuster I purchased this Book from @amazondotin I would not Recommend this Book ... This is a Board book There are some Islamic Concerns in this book like showing Women Leading Salah... Dog in the house underneath the Table when having Suhoor... Few Characters in the Book Eating in the Left Hand... The Author is Not a Muslim , This book is published by mainstream traditional company simonandschuster they have various other festival books under the theme Celebrate the World... I am not sure if this is done By the Author with Lack of Knowledge... The words used are simple and explain a lot of the basics of Ramadan.

Ich habe das Buch für meine 2 jährige Tochter letzten Ramadan gekauft und sie war total begeistert. Wir haben das Buch mehrmals täglich gelesen. Ich habe ihr alles auf Deutsch übersetzt. Die Bilder sind sehr kindgerecht, sehr süß! Ich kann das Buch nur weiterempfehlen! Schade, dass es viele gute islamische Kinderbücher (noch) nicht in deutscher Übersetzung gibt.

This book is just what I have been looking for. Beautifully illustrated and simply written I am excited to share this book with the 2-4 year olds that I work with. There are many things in the book that young children can identify with as well as presenting the children with a positive image of another culture/religion. I have struggled in the past to find books appropriate for younger children. Perfect for Understanding the World- People and communities as well as reflecting British Values of tolerance and mutual respect. I will definitely be purchasing other books in the series.

Glüchlicherweise liebt mein Sohn Bücher, weswegen ich ihm die Religion auch so näherbringen kann. Schöne Illustrationen!
