Eid-al-Fitr is a joyous time of year for Muslims, and marks the end to Ramadan, a holy month of fasting, praying and deep spirituality - so the build-up to Eid is exciting and exuberant. Families come together to celebrate with delicious feasts and gifts, but sighting the crescent moon is the first sign that Eid can begin.
This beautiful picture book is perfect for readers aged 2 years and up, as well as anyone who's ever looked up into the evening sky and delighted in the moon.
