Islamic notes: Ramadan was mentioned as 30 days, and no mention of the fact that it could be 29 days?⠀

⠀

⭐️This is an adorable Ramadan tale for little children who want to start fasting!⠀

⠀

The book is a beautiful hardcover with gorgeous illustrations and high quality glossy pages. Khadija is a cute protagonist who wears hijab outside her home and not inside of it. I love how the book starts with sighting the moon and ends with an invitation to fast next Ramadan. There are also a few activities in the back, as well as an adorable countdown calendar.⠀

⠀

Khadija and Cat eat suhoor, pray fajr, and go back to sleep. Then they spend the day waiting for Maghrib, reading Quran, and being grateful for all their blessings.

⠀

There was a lot of information and descriptive pictures that showed Ramadan is about more than just fasting, but some of the wording was complicated.⠀

⠀

I did note a few typos and grammar issues. The rhymes seemed forced at times and weren’t consistent throughout.⠀

⠀

⭐️While this is a book about Ramadan, it can definitely be read outside of this blessed month and would be enjoyable for kids the whole year.
