Under the Ramadan Moon - Paperback

by Sylvia Whitman (Author), Sue Williams (Illustrator)

"We wait for the moon. We watch for the moon. We watch for the Ramadan moon. We give to the poor, and read Qur'an, under the moon. We live our faith, until next year under the moon, under the moon, under the Ramadan moon."

Ramadan is one of the most special months of the Islamic year, when Muslims pray, fast, and help those in need. The lyrical story, with luminous illustrations, serves as an introduction to Ramadan--a time for reflection and ritual with family and friends. A detailed note about Ramadan is included.
