What is Ramadan moon about?

A young Muslim child watches the Ramadan moon and learns how its changing shape marks the special month of fasting. From whispered hopes and early-morning meals to prayer, generosity and family celebrations, each day brings a deeper understanding of Ramadan. As the moon waxes and wanes, excitement grows for Eid-ul-Fitr, the joyful festival that follows. With lyrical words and richly detailed illustrations inspired by Iranian art, this gentle picture book offers a child’s view of faith, family and community.
