"" A

beautifully composed story. . . . this is a welcome contribution, giving much-needed visibility to a celebration observed by over ten million people in North America."" --School Library Journal

Learn all about Eid, a religious holiday celebrated by Muslim families, as a young girl discovers that the best way to make the holiday special is by giving.

Young readers can learn about Eid, a religious holiday celebrated by Muslim families every year, as well as the Hajj pilgrimage, when Muslims travel back to Mecca for the Eid, in this picture book about Muslim culture and traditions written by Dr. Asma Mobin-Uddin and illustrated by Laura Jacobsen.

This Eid, Aneesa should be happy. But, her parents are thousands of miles away for the Hajj pilgrimage. To cheer her up, her Nonni gives her a gift of beautiful clothes, one outfit for each of the three days of Eid. At the prayer hall, Aneesa meets two sisters who are dressed in ill-fitting clothes for the holiday. She soon discovers that the girls are refugees - they had to leave everything behind when they left their native country to live in America. Aneesa, who can't stop thinking about what Eid must be like for them, comes up with a plan - a plan to help make it the best Eid holiday ever. School Library Journal says- "" A

beautifully composed story. . . . This is a welcome contribution, giving much-needed visibility to a celebration observed by over ten million people in North America."" And Library Media Connection says- ""After reading this book, children will have a greater appreciation for the Muslim culture and will have no problem realizing that love is an action word.""
