What is Eid al-Fitr, and how do these titles celebrate it?
Eid al-Fitr is the day after Ramadan ends, and it begins when the new moon is seen. It is a day of thanks to Allah for the month of fasting. In the morning Muslims go to the Eid prayer and say the takbir. Then families put on their best clothes, visit each other, share good food and give presents, greeting one another with "Eid Mubarak", blessed Eid.
'Tis the Night Before Eid, a picture book and an audiobook, follows a family getting ready on the last night of Ramadan. In I Love Eid, a girl in Canada shares her day, from the Eid prayer to presents at her grandmother's house. In the videos, cartoon friends watch for the new moon and go to the prayer, a girl bakes a cake with her mama for the family, and Zain Bhikha sings a classic Eid nasheed. Children can play a dressing-up game for an Eid party and an Eid Mubarak jigsaw.
Other titles tell of the fasting that comes first, so a child sees why Eid is such a happy day.
On each page, parents find what the title teaches and a few questions to ask once the celebrations are over.
