About this ebook

Ramadan Through the Eyes of a Child is a story of how an African American Muslim family honors one of the most sacred months in a Muslim's life. Told through the perspective of an 8 year old girl, this story reminds the reader of the importance of family, tradition, and creating fun memories.

Families will immediately become captivated by the narrator who tells the story through rhyming couplets. From the first day of Ramadan through the Eid ul Fitr celebration, we learn how special this time of year is to 8-year old Amirah, an inquisitive little girl who learns the value of patience. The main character gently hints at self control, self discipline, and the rewards received by demonstrating those characteristics. Although written with 5-8 year olds in mind, this true story will keep readers of all ages entertained for many years to come.
